Buckboard Bacon
A style of bacon made by curing and smoking a pork shoulder (Boston Butt) rather than the traditional pork belly. It is leaner and meatier than belly bacon.
Buckboard bacon, also known as cottage bacon, is a favorite for those who want a heartier, less greasy bacon. Because it uses the marbled pork shoulder, it retains a rich flavor but doesn’t shrink as much as belly bacon when fried.
