BACON, SIMPLY BACON

BACON CAN BE SO MUCH MORE

Bacon is one of those delights that makes no pretense, it’s just bacon. Most of us have grown up eating bacon in its traditional forms, but rather than get bored with it, bacon still remains one of our favourite staples. Our team of creative food development specialists have taken a look at traditional North American bacon products and have come up with new and exciting ways to enjoy this product with increased consumption opportunities.

The Hela Spice R&D Team, really wanted to get creative and imagine new ways to enjoy bacon. Concepts encompassing snacking opportunities, to great flavour enhanced versions, innovative main course delights and even venturing into sweet bacon desserts. Of course, at Hela Spice we don’t leave vegan consumers behind and be assured that we have developed this range of bacon style products, where we can produce them in a vegan form that will delight even the most discerning consumer.

MAIN COURSE

Bacon has never really been the focus of many main courses at family dinner time. It always seems to be targeted at breakfast, sandwiches for lunch or toppings and accents for dinner. We went back to re-conceptualize bacon and searched the world for ideas and re-imagined bacon as a delicious protein component for a main meal. We are looking at everything from flavoured and marinated back bacon (perfect for slicing) to bacon burgers and finally, bacon steaks (perfect for grilling).
