Walnut Creek Pork Week



Heritage Pork Products Featured

In product cuttings featuring  pork from Heritage Duroc hogs, Brian sampled customers and prospective customers two fantastic items.

Bacon: Created by British Expatriate Chef Tony Baker. Baker’s Bacon utilizes California Duroc pork bellies, hand selected, brined, and dry rubbed with spices before being smoked over Applewood.  A must try is the double smoked sliced bacon which is smoked for 20 hours, cooled and smoked again for another 6 hours over hardwood for an intense smokey flavor.  The Back Bacon is also smoked over applewood and includes the loin with the belly still attached. Both are sliced a thick 10-12 ct per pound.

Compart Duroc Premium Pork: This 3rd generation family farm raises and processes Duroc hogs. The Duroc breed excels for meat quality and eating characteristics documented in tests performed by the National Pork Producers. We featured a 14 oz dry aged pork porterhouse chop. Excellent cooked medium rare.

  Baker’s Bacon and Compart Duroc Pork are both available from Brian at US Foods San Francisco.
