Best bacon ever! Benton's

Hickory Smoked.

Last year I ordered some. It was the best bacon I've ever had, very intensely smoky. That's when we discovered that the missus isn't really a fan of intensely smoked meats.

Hell, even the cardboard box that the bacon came in smelled more smokey than the bacon that you buy in the store.

I also discovered that you need to eat this stuff pretty darn quickly. It doesn't last forever in the refrigerator like the crap that you get at the grocery store.

Country Hams, Benton's Country hams, townsend, tn,hams, Country bacon, Bacon, smoky mountains, smoky mountain hams



I suspect their ham is also pretty good.

Apparently, the bacon dries for several weeks (seems to be around 4-8 weeks per several different videos and websites. Per one place on the website the hams age anywhere from 8-24 months, but where you buy them on their website says 12-14 months. The hams spend 3 days in the smokehouse and the bacon spends either 2 or 3 depending upon what you read/hear.
