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.

Your smoked bacon is great! But I can't pick just one of your applewood smoked meats, because they're all DELICIOUS!

We expected lean bacon, and we got it. Thanks!

Nobody does bacon like Nueske's!!

I was so blown away by this bacon that I immediately and uncontrollably soiled myself! I was transported to a brand new world of flavor, resulting in blissful disorientation and the complete loss of control of bodily functions. Now the bar is set so high that I am never truly satisfied by anything unless it includes 6 pieces of glorious Nueske's bacon. Now I am divorced and unemployed, living from one piece of bacon to the next.

Bacon was mostly fat on two out of 3 packages.

7 or 8 years ago i began getting this bacon when i would travel through Wisconsin as an over-the-road truck driver. I now work in the office of a trucking company and have everyone here hooked on this bacon. We just had one of our drivers stop and pick up 134 POUNDS of this bacon! This is for a total of 8 people in our company that wanted MORE NUESKE'S BACON!!! I personally ordered 30 pounds for my own family! The is the best bacon i have ever had from ANYWHERE! try it, you will not be disappointed!

Hands down, the best tasting bacon in the world! The thick (1/4 inch thick each slice!)and juicy bacon with that special Neuske's smoke flavor makes this a crowd pleaser whenever I serve it. I often give this bacon to smoked meat lovers as thank you gifts, and it never ever fails that I get rave reviews from appreciative recipients of this amazingly thick and smoky bacon. Nothing like it in the world! It's expensive, especially with shipping, but it's worth the guilty pleasure several times a year for me.

Was really in the mood for some excellent bacon. The product arrived on time and in excellent condition. Opening the package the look and smell of the bacon was superlative. We were so excited to try a new Applewood Smoked Bacon. The smell of cooking bacon did not disappoint , but when we ate, it was entirely too salty to taste anything but salt !!! Extremely disappointed in an expensive bacon.

......it's not even a contest. I live in Eau Claire, WI and often have my brother who works over in the Eastern part of the state pick Nueske's up for me. Your Applewood Bacon is hands down the BEST bacon I have ever had! (And I've had A LOT of bacon!). When feeling generous I even share a little with friends and they agree........this is where the buck stops as far as bacon goes. The packs of thick sliced bacon don't last long in my house. Thanks Nueske's!

I've never been a bacon aficionado, at least not until I had Nueske's. The applewood bacon at the store, even the expensive stuff, pales in comparison. I could eat this everyday. Delicious! (And if I could give it 10 stars, I would.)

This is one of the best-tasting bacons I have tried. Trader Joe's Apple Smoked bacon ranks close. Niman Ranch doesn't compare. I highly recommend Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon. It may very well be the best in the nation.

Received bacon as a gift. Now ordering more. It is the best bacon ever. What else do you need to know?

I can't put in words how I felt the first time I tried the applewood bacon! Tremendous smokey awesomeness! I spent 15 minutes savoring my first strip of this fine swine! (Ok, I'm getting a bit carried away) I received this bacon as part of a "Bacon of the month club". I was amused at first, but became a transformed Nueske convert after my first bite. This puts to shame even my local 'small' butcher that everyone in Napa says is the best. They have no clue what their competition is creating! I'll be ordering more for sure. I only have 3 cooked strips left in a baggie in the freezer. :-(

Superb bacon with wonderful flavor. Best bacon I've ever had!! I've bought it for myself many times & will continue to buy it as my only breakfast bacon. I've sent it to friends & family often & the recipients usually like it so much they start ordering it for themselves. Like me, some become so 'addicted' they won't buy anything else! My only criticism is that the medium-thick bacon it a bit thinner than I'd like & the 'bacon steaks' are way to thick for me. Keep on doin' what you're doin' to make your bacon Neuske's!

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.

This is the worst bacon I have ever had! I bought it for Christmas breakfast and it was so bad my husband wouldn’t even eat it. It tasted like smoke and a weird plastic/chemical taste. I am now left with two more packages of very expensive, inedible bacon. I also bought the sausage links, they weren’t much better.

The best bacon I have ever tasted. Would purchase it if it was not so expensive. When it comes free with an order is how we get it. Love the Hams too !

Half of my bacon was 40% fat, your pictures were a lot leaner.
