BACON DICED 1KG (HOBSONS CHOICE DB1)

Product Description

Bacon Diced 1KG (Hobsons Choice DB1) is a versatile, high-quality, ready-to-cook bacon product tailored for commercial kitchens, catering companies, delis, meal prep services, and home cooks seeking consistent, pre-diced bacon pieces. Produced by Hobsons Choice—a trusted name in New Zealand meat processing—this 1-kilogram chilled pack is perfect for streamlining prep time, reducing waste, and delivering rich, savoury bacon flavour across a wide range of dishes.

Cut from quality cured pork, each piece is uniformly diced to a practical size that renders well when cooked. The bacon pieces retain a satisfying balance of lean meat and fat, ensuring a crispy texture and bold, smoky taste after pan-frying, grilling, or oven baking. Whether used as a salad topping, pasta ingredient, breakfast filler, or savoury pastry inclusion, this bacon performs reliably in both bulk and plated applications.

The product comes vacuum-packed and chilled, offering maximum freshness and a clean, food-safe presentation. Because it’s already cut, it saves valuable kitchen time and labour, and guarantees portion consistency across all applications. There’s no need for knives, cutting boards, or additional prep effort—just open, measure, cook, and serve.

For high-volume kitchens and foodservice operations across New Zealand, diced bacon is a cost-effective solution that enhances taste while improving kitchen efficiency. It’s ideal for menus requiring batch production, such as breakfast buffets, pasta bars, cabinet food, and savoury baked goods.

Benefits

One of the biggest advantages of using Bacon Diced 1KG (Hobsons Choice DB1) is its time-saving nature. In busy kitchens or high-output foodservice operations, labour efficiency matters. This product eliminates the need to manually slice raw bacon, reducing prep time and improving kitchen hygiene by limiting cross-contamination from raw meat handling.

Each diced piece is sized for optimal rendering, crisping, and flavour dispersion. Unlike bacon strips that require slicing and sometimes trimming, these pieces are ready to go straight into the frying pan, oven, or steam pan. For chefs and kitchen staff, this means fewer tools, faster production, and more consistent results.

From a menu standpoint, diced bacon is incredibly versatile. It’s a must-have ingredient in many classic and modern recipes—from bacon and egg pies to creamy carbonara, from bacon-wrapped dates to savoury muffins. These small bits of flavourful pork enhance any dish, providing rich, smoky undertones that appeal to a wide range of diners.

In addition, the 1KG pack size is ideal for bulk preparation. Whether you're running a breakfast buffet in Rotorua, filling cabinet items in a Wellington café, or preparing catering trays in Hamilton, this pack provides both the volume and quality to meet demand. Its chilled format also means it’s easy to portion, reseal, and refrigerate if not used in a single session.

Another benefit is the flavour impact. Cured to perfection, Hobsons Choice bacon retains its distinct taste when diced—strong enough to be noticeable, but not overpowering. It blends beautifully with eggs, vegetables, cheeses, and pastry doughs, helping to elevate basic dishes into premium menu items.

Why You Should Choose This Product

For foodservice providers across New Zealand, this diced bacon is a smart purchase. It’s a high-performance product that adds value both in the kitchen and on the plate. Hobsons Choice is a respected local brand known for quality and consistency—attributes every commercial kitchen relies on.

The diced format enables precise portion control and reduces errors in measurement or batch cooking. This is particularly useful in catering contracts, school lunches, or aged care menus where nutrition and cost must be carefully managed. You can calculate per-serving costs easily, helping with pricing strategies and kitchen planning.

Its long shelf life (when stored correctly at chilled temperatures) and reliable supply chain make it suitable for restocking in bulk, reducing the need for frequent ordering or product waste. The vacuum packaging keeps it fresh and leak-proof, maintaining hygiene standards that align with NZFSA expectations.

In smaller kitchens or households, this product also offers convenience. It’s ideal for freezing in smaller portions if needed and doesn’t require defrosting overnight like frozen blocks of bacon. A few handfuls can quickly enhance a soup, frittata, or stir fry.

As a staple ingredient that’s beloved throughout New Zealand, bacon will never go out of style. But when it comes pre-diced, portion-controlled, and ready to use—it becomes a powerful tool for efficient, delicious, and profitable food production.
