For years I've been a fan and promoter of Nueske's applewood smoked bacon. In a recent order 3 of the 5 pounds of bacon were extremely fatty. The grease rendered from cooking was abundant. I was able to give the 2 leaner packages as gifts, holding back the fatty ones. I am now reluctant to order again. I had previously given 5 stars to Nueske's bacon, but this latest fatty shipment really disappointed.

Bacon was mostly fat on two out of 3 packages.

I ordered Applewood Smoked Bacon after hearing a lot of praise about it on the radio. I was rather surprised to find that it is rather thin and so so tasting. Not any better than grocery store bacon. Much more expensive though.

Got a lb of the thick smoked bacon as a Christmas gift, the smoke was so overpowering I literally threw half of it in the trash. I absolutely love bacon, and have tried so many, so I was shocked that this highly rated bacon was such a letdown. It felt like I was dipping it in a bottle of liquid smoke with every bite.
