Food: Facts – Of Bacon, Fatback and Salt Pork

  • -     Bacon is a cut from the side of a pig
  • -          Fatback is a cut from the back of a pig and is not salted or smoked.
  • -          Salt Pork is a cut from the belly and sides of the pig. It is fattier than the bacon, salt-cured but not smoked. Its saltiness varies; and in order to reduce the saltiness, parboil it before using. Salt pork if tightly wrapped and being kept in a refrigerator may have a food quality lifetime of up to 1 month.
