Master butcher Keith Fisher and British pork body BPEX to provide the guide.
He said: Bacon has remained at the very heart of British food culture. Today, there are many new and exciting flavours, from smokes and cures using ingredients as far ranging as fruit and treacle to ale and whisky.
“Choosing the right cure for the right dish is important, as is sourcing quality assured bacon – such as Red Tractor – which has been produced to high standards.”
He added it was also important to pick the right cut. Streaky bacon is ideal for wrapping, back bacon is meaty and lean while middle bacon is an economical cut that works well for breakfast.
Bacon Connoisseurs’ Week runs from March 19 to 25
