BACON WHOLE BELLY SPEC [IMP] (PER KG) [FSHMT]

Product Description

Bacon Whole Belly Spec [IMP] (Per KG) [FSHMT] is a premium, uncooked pork belly product supplied per kilogram in a fresh (FSHMT) format, designed for butchers, food processors, smokehouses, and chefs seeking full control over curing, smoking, slicing, and portioning. Imported and processed to strict quality standards, this whole pork belly cut is skin-on and boneless, delivering maximum flexibility for custom bacon production or use in artisan butchery and foodservice applications.

The belly cut is prized for its layered fat and meat structure, making it ideal for curing and smoking into streaky bacon or pancetta, or using in its raw form for pork belly roasts, Korean BBQ, or braising. Because it’s supplied whole and fresh—not frozen—you get excellent handling characteristics and true meat integrity.

Each belly is trimmed to “Spec” standard, meaning it meets commercial-grade expectations for thickness, fat coverage, and yield. This makes it a smart bulk purchase for operators who prefer to cure in-house, create signature bacon blends, or require large volumes of raw pork belly for diverse culinary uses.

Whether you’re cold-smoking your own bacon or roasting slabs of pork belly in a slow cooker, this whole belly product gives you complete creative control with a fresh, high-yield cut.

Benefits

The greatest benefit of Bacon Whole Belly Spec is its versatility. It’s the preferred format for kitchens and butchers who want to make bacon from scratch—dry cured, brined, smoked, or seasoned to a custom profile. By controlling the cure and slice, you can create bespoke flavours that elevate your brand or product offering.

For chefs, the belly’s rich marbling and tender structure make it ideal for slow roasting, crisping, and braising. Its fat renders cleanly, producing golden skin and juicy, flavour-packed meat perfect for plating or carving.

Because the product is fresh—not frozen—it arrives with better integrity, easier handling, and shorter processing time. This is especially important for artisan bacon makers or commercial processors who require consistent results from each batch.

The “Spec” trimming ensures commercial quality: a uniform slab with well-balanced fat and meat, trimmed to industry expectations. That means better portion control, higher yield, and less prep waste.
