BACON FLAKE MANUKA SMOKED LEONARDS (1KG) [CHIL]

Product Description

Bacon Flake Manuka Smoked Leonards (1KG) [CHIL] is a premium, ready-to-cook bacon ingredient that delivers deep, rich flavour through traditional New Zealand manuka wood smoking. Supplied chilled in a vacuum-sealed 1-kilogram pack, this product is crafted for cafés, catering services, delis, bakeries, and commercial kitchens needing consistent, flavour-packed bacon in a versatile, flaked format.

Produced by Leonards—well known for high-quality smoked meats—this bacon flake is made from cured pork, coarsely chopped and lightly pre-cooked, then smoked with real manuka wood for a distinctive, earthy aroma and taste. The result is a ready-to-cook bacon flake that crisps quickly and blends seamlessly into hot or cold dishes, offering excellent coverage, texture, and flavour release.

The 1KG chilled pack is ideal for moderate-to-high volume food prep and helps reduce labour costs in busy kitchens. Because the product is already flaked, there’s no need to dice, trim, or pre-cook bacon from scratch. Simply open the pack, portion what you need, and use directly in salads, pastas, baked goods, scrambled eggs, pizzas, potato bakes, frittatas, or wraps.

This format also helps reduce food waste, provides uniform portion control, and allows for consistent quality in every dish. Whether you're making bacon and egg muffins or prepping for breakfast rushes in your café, Leonards bacon flakes are a practical and flavour-enhancing choice.
