This bacon will not crisp up under any circumstance. It is very salty. So salty that your mouth will hurt from simply eating a piece or two. To put this in perspective I don't think McDonalds puts enough salt on their fries so I have to add extra salt. I really like salt. I cannot eat this bacon because it is WAY to salty. There is no flavor other than salt.

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.

I adore Nueske's products. Used to buy it all the time when the family Homestead was in Wittenberg. Sadly, those members of the family have passed and the Homestead is gone. Also, sadly, my financial situation is bad and I'm unable to afford Nueske's anymore. Unless I win the lottery. Then all bets are off!

I must say I've eaten a lot of smoked products, but yours are the best

We love your products...especially the bacon.

I love the bacon. It doesn’t fry away like other store bacons. The wieners are the best I’ve ever had. I have been satisfied with everything.

...simply the most delicious bacon!

I have purchased your bacon for 30-plus years, and it is always the best... not too salty with just the right amount of smoke. I received a gift of cob smoked bacon from Vermont. It was good, but does not come close to Nueske's.

Your bacon is wonderful! Any recipe that calls for bacon...it's Nueske's!!!

So incredible that it has spoiled me. I cannot even think of eating any other bacon. Nothing compares to this applewood smoked jewel. The pigs are lining up to become the best bacon in the world.

You've set the bar on excellence- Love it, Love it.

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS BACON AS A GIFT FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS, BUT NOT UNTIL THIS YEAR, DID I CHECK THE NUTRITION INFORMATION. MY HUSBAND HAD A HEART ATTACK THIS LAST YEAR AND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT ANYTHING HIGH IN CHOLESTEROL, BUT HE LOVES BACON. THIS IS THE LOWEST I HAVE FOUND AND I WILL BE ORDERING IT FOR HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I am originally from WI and now live in Ann Arbor MI. I saw Zingerman's Deli served Nueske's bacon! Had to have it.

I've cured and smoked my own bacon for a long time now. NO MORE. I'll stick to smoking brisket and butts from now on...your bacon is too good.

So, at the Chelsea (MI) Market this morning, Harvey the Meat Guy was cooking Nueske's Bacon. Smelled great, so I bought 4 fat, hand cut slices; and found it TASTES EVEN GREATER THAN IT SMELLS!!! Do not hesitate, buy it now. Never look back. (Thanks, Harvey!)

This bacon is outstanding. My family loves it, and it makes wonderful gifts for my customers. You will never go to any other bacon after having this applewood smoked bacon!!!

I almost sound like a snake-oil salesman when I talk about your products. I frequently show friends and relatives a comparison between your bacon and brands offered commercially at the store. Nueske's bacon consistently shows to have anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of the fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Of course, they already LOVED THE TASTE!! After that, they were sold. Like me, they won't buy bacon anywhere but Nueske's. Thank you for a really good product. 

I had read about it. I had heard about it. Now I understand. It's all so clear now. My mind is at peace. My heart is content. My tongue is delighted. This is a new state of consciousness. This is Nueske's applewood smoked bacon. I am a believer.

I LOVE bacon but this bacon is in a class all its own. Yummy, delicious, incredible. Very lean. Don't know that we could possibly ever go back to anything else.

I appreciate that you continue to sell a quality product. Please don't change anything!
