Comments from the judges: "Fabulous smoky aroma on glistening thin slices of bacon. In the mouth the succulent slither coats the taste buds and the salty fatty juices impart the meaty smoky bacon luxuriously. This is a flavour that makes you close your eyes whilst eating - just delicious. It is obvious that the husbandry, butchering and curing process has been done with care and expertise. This bacon is authentic and full of the qualities that we expect from Mangalitza pork."
