NASHVILLE HOT BACON

Broadbent’s Heritage Nashville Hot Bacon

A Kentucky Classic with a Music City Kick.

Introducing the bacon that bites back. Our Nashville Hot Bacon is a bold fusion of two Southern icons: Broadbent’s award-winning Kentucky dry-cure and the fiery, legendary spice profile of Nashville Hot Chicken.

We start with premium heritage-breed pork—Berkshire and Red Wattle—prized for the rich, creamy marbling that provides the perfect canvas for high-impact heat. Each slab is hand-rubbed with a signature blend of cayenne, brown sugar, and secret spices, then slow-smoked to perfection.

Why It’s a Game Changer:

• The "Creeping" Heat: We’ve captured the authentic Nashville Hot experience. You’ll first taste the sweet, smoky notes of our traditional cure, followed by a bold, peppery finish that builds with every bite.

• Heritage Breed Quality: The superior fat quality of Berkshire and Red Wattle hogs means this bacon doesn't just provide heat—it provides a rich, buttery mouthfeel that balances the spice beautifully.

• High-Yield, No Shrink: Like all Broadbent bacon, this is dry-cured with no added water. What you put in the pan is what you get on the plate—thick, sturdy slices that stay crisp and hold their flavor.

• Culinary Versatility: This isn't just for breakfast. Use it to add a spicy crunch to a wedge salad, elevate a standard cheeseburger, or garnish a high-end Bloody Mary.

Flavor Profile:

Smoky. Sweet. Spicy. The brown sugar in the rub caramelizes during cooking, creating a "candied" exterior that shatters perfectly to reveal the fiery Nashville heat underneath.

Authentic. Bold. Heritage-Bred.

Chef’s Recommendation: For a true "Nashville Hot" experience, serve these slices atop a piece of white bread with a couple of pickle chips. The bread will soak up the spicy heritage fat, creating the ultimate savory treat.
