Item Description
Chef Eron Picus has a passion for pork, and his take on this traditional food stays true to the source while adding just the right seasoning to make it really, really good. When Eron met wife Sarah – on a blind date arranged by their moms, by the way – the two never imagined they’d end up in the bacon business.
Ten years later, date night dinner talk often turns to the best spice combo (garlic and chili flakes). To slice or not to slice (slice). Even whether there’s such a thing as too much bacon (um, no). And what started as just one more delicious ingredient in Eron’s catering repertoire, and the occasional host gift or pride of the potluck, soon took on a life of its own. Today, Cured & Crisp is the go-to source for quality bacon in the greater D.C. Metropolitan area – a farm-to-fingers dream come true.
They start with pork belly thoughtfully sourced from Ozark Mountain Berkshire Cooperative. Cut into 3 pound portions, the pork cures up to 5 days in our signature five-spice rub. Once rinsed, we hot smoke it at around 165 degrees for about 2 hours – long enough to render the right amount of fat and ind infuse an unforgettable flavor. Then we cool it, slice it, seal it and send it on its way.
Ozark Mountain Berkshire Cooperative is a group of 30 family farms raising 100% Berkshire pigs, on pasture and antibiotic free. No gestation crates.
