Bende Smoked Bacon Kolozsvari 0.9 Lb - European Smoked Bacon For Savory Delights

Great flavor!

The best bacon ever PERIOD...

This bacon has not arrived to me. I ordered it on September 28. RinaInternational is not fulfilling its promise. Normally, this bacon pairs well/goes well with red onions, is a good snack, or a meal in itself. I actually also stuffed cabbages with it, for the great smoked flavour fits Kolozsvari Kaposzta, a great Transylvanian dish.Kolozsvari is supposed to have originated in Transylvania. It is well smoked, has the right flavour, and goes well with Rye bread, and I even stuff cabbage with it.The only downside is it is too small, and kind of overpriced, at $28. only 1 pound, and it shrinks when cooked. I highly recommend though.

The smoky flavor is very pronounced in this product. It needs to be put into the oven at about 295' F for about and hour or more , while checking out its doneness from time to time. It is very fatty , but can lend itself to flavoring other recipes if so inclined. I would not use it as a bacon as in a breakfast . It's basically a pork belly, and I can obtain that at the local Safeway for a lot less money . Not very impressed by it .Chef Gregory

Cut this into relatively thick (1/8" or less) slices and fried it up in a skillet. It crisped up nicely and the taste was great but it was way too salty. I like lots of salt on food I eat, but this was too much for me. Have about 1/4 left, might try soaking it for a couple hours to pull out some of the salt, otherwise this is a no go in the future

Good smoke flavor Good for seasoning food. the pack of bacon is smaller than it appears

Best bacon money can buy.freez it then shave it ultra thin on a mandolin ceramic cutter and make the best sandwich in the world!!Microwave the sandwich for only 30 sec!!

The flavor was extremely salty, however I like the consistency of the meat. My grandmother, who purchased this liked neither the saltyness nor consistency. The size of the bacon was less than what was assured in the discription. It was also much more then and misleading compared to the picture.Needless to say I will not be purchasing this again.
