Benton's and Broadbent are two of America's last grandfathered businesses allowed to use real smoke from real wood to flavor their meats. Their rumbling machines billow out smoke using wood from local forests to create treasured tastes of the past that can not be replicated with artificial methods.
“The wood comes in when it does. When people are running out of beer and milk and want to sell some wood, they harvest it and come see me. That’s always the way it’s been,” explains famed curemaster Allan Benton in Tennessee.
Back in the days before refrigeration, hardwood smoking with natural hickory or oak wood provided antimicrobial benefits to the surface of the product. The other benefit was flavor. Our curemasters take no short-cuts — they smoke their meats which are sourced from our heritage pork for up to 18 hours.
Hickory Smoked Sliced Bacon, Benton's
Al Benton cures his meats in an ancient smokehouse in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, with little consideration for the modern world. Benton's meats are renowned for being heavy on the smoke and a perfect food for folk who love strong and bold flavor. Even though Benton is a legend in the South, he is still hands-on and present in all steps of the curing process. He is another famed traditionalist who is forwarding the cause of the American charcuterie renaissance by embracing heritage breed pigs. One 16 oz pack.
Applewood Smoked Sliced Bacon, Broadbent
In 2009, Broadbent's celebrated 100 years of making old-fashioned country ham, bacon, and sausage. We are proud to ship them our 100% heritage pork bellies which they cure in their signature style. This is a lighter, sweeter bacon, smoked with applewood. One 14 oz pack.
Thick-Cut Brown Sugar & Honey Hickory Smoked Heritage Bacon, Broadbent
The newest flavor from Broadbent! A sweet and savory blend of brown sugar and honey, smoked with hickory. As regional foods and traditions continue to vanish, Broadbent is working to keep a piece of Kentucky’s culinary history alive. They now use exclusively Lazy Red Wattle Ranch and Newman Berkshire Farm pork. One 14 oz pack.
Sliced Heritage Prosciutto, Broadbent
This is a dry-cured ham similar to Prosciutto di Parma, San Daniele or Serrano but lightly smoked and aged 18-24 months. Enjoy the thrills of a whole ham experience with no need to trim or store the full leg — the artisans at Broadbent pre-sliced their exclusive heritage hams for easy enjoyment! Three 3 oz packs
