​Bacon​

Great no matter how you slice it.

Over the past century we've developed an almost legendary reputation for consistency in all aspects of bacon quality: taste, slice thickness and width, lean content, cooking performance and shrinkage. To accomplish this, we start with fresh, zero-scribe, center-cut pork bellies from the Seaboard Foods integrated food system — the ones with the ideal lean-to-fat ratio that absorb the smoke and cure best. Then, we smoke each belly 6 1/2 to 10 hours with natural hardwood smoke — never using artificial smoke. This gives Daily's® bacon its old-fashioned, mildly sweet flavor with no artificial aftertaste. We call it A Taste Like No Other®.

Our raw bacon is always sliced fresh-to-order and never made ahead and stored, like much of our competition does. We feature distinct bacon specification levels to help you further meet menu and price-point requirements.

​Precooked Bacon

Fresh-cooked taste

When you need convenience without sacrificing quality or flavor, Daily's® Premium Precooked Bacon is an excellent solution. As the "Bacon Specialists" we strive to give our precooked bacon its remarkable, fresh-cooked flavor. It must also meet exacting specifications for texture, plate presentation, cost-per-slice and slice consistency. We process our precooked bacon from the same fresh, zero-scribe, center-cut, pork bellies we derive our fresh product from. We use natural hickory hardwoods for smoking and our unique house cure to give our precooked bacon its delicious, old-fashioned smoke flavor. Daily's® Premium Meats offers several slice thicknesses and flavors for different menu applications. Our precooked bacon also comes in a diced or chopped form that's perfect for topping pizza, soups and salads.
