HOW WE CHOOSE

When choosing pork,
start here

Even within pork belly, thickness, price and breed vary widely. If you only compare the price of a single pack, products with different pack weights are hard to compare properly.

So when choosing a product we look at thickness, price per 100g, breed and lineage, and certification together. Prices and product information are shown with the retailer and the date we checked.

ThicknessWhether it is thin for pan-frying or thick for camping
