Dry Cured Bacon - Calgary Local Delivery

Traditional Dry-Cured Process

Most supermarket bacon is wet-cured in a brine solution. Our bacon from Pioneer Butchery is dry-cured — a traditional method where the meat is rubbed with salt, spices, and herbs and left to cure slowly over several days. The result is a more concentrated bacon flavor, firmer texture, and no excess water or chemical additives. This process also means the bacon renders more fat as it cooks, giving you crispier results with deeper flavor. Every batch is hand-rubbed and inspected by Pioneer's master butchers, ensuring consistent quality from pack to pack.

Five Varieties, All Alberta-Raised

Our dry-cured bacon range covers every preference: Beef Brisket Bacon for bold, meaty flavor; Smoked Dry Cured Bacon for classic breakfast; Canadian Bacon for lean, mild slices; Chili Rosemary for heat and herbs; and Bacon Bits for salads and snacking. All are made from Alberta-raised pork (or beef for the brisket variety) and produced in small batches. Each product is hand-sliced and packaged fresh, then delivered to your door with free same-day Calgary delivery before 10 AM. No two batches taste exactly the same — that's the mark of true craft bacon.

How to Cook Dry Cured Bacon

Dry-cured bacon has a different texture than wet-cured bacon. Here are our recommended cooking methods:

• Pan-fry: Place strips in a cold pan and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
• Bake: Lay strips on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes for evenly crispy bacon.
• Microwave: Place between paper towels and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes for quick preparation.
