Dry Cured Bacon Calgary — Pioneer Butchery

Pioneer Butchery Bacon

Pioneer Butchery makes some of the best dry-cured bacon in Alberta. Every batch is cured with simple spices, smoked over hardwood, and sliced by hand. No water injected, no artificial smoke flavour, no shortcuts. Just bacon the way it used to be made.

Beef Brisket Bacon

Beef brisket, cured and smoked like traditional pork bacon. Leaner than pork bacon with a deep beefy flavour. Smoked low and slow until it hits that perfect balance of meaty, smoky, and salty. Great for BLTs, breakfast sandwiches, or eating on its own.

Smoked & Canadian Bacon

The smoked bacon is a classic back bacon — meaty, smoky, and sliced thick. The Canadian bacon is a leaner option, cured and smoked from the loin. Both are dry-cured with no added water, so what you pay for is what you get: meat, not water weight.

Chili Rosemary & Bacon Bits

Chili rosemary bacon brings heat and herbaceousness to the classic cure. The bacon bits come in both original and chili rosemary — perfect for salads, baked potatoes, pasta, or snacking straight from the bag.
