Bacon Info & History

Salted pork belly first appeared in China. In Middle English the term bacon or bacoun referred to all pork in general. Before the industrial revolution, bacon was generally produced on local farms and in domestic kitchens. The world’s first commercial bacon processing plant was opened in Wiltshire in the 1770s by John Harris. In 1930, 99% of the world’s bacon and ham exports went to Britain, where Danish bacon was preferred to domestic bacon. Danish bacon was produced in a state-supported factory system with more standardized quality and was extensively advertised. In the Second World War Danish bacon was not available, and the American alternative, said to be fat and heavily boraxed, was not popular.

Now for the controversy – how do you like your bacon?
