Sainsbury's bacon has emerged as the top choice in a taste test of premium bacon from several UK supermarkets, earning high praise for its flavor and texture. Priced at £4, Sainsbury's bacon is noted for its juicy, thick rashers, which are hand-cured and smoked with oak wood chips. Even tough critics found it to be exceptional. Following closely behind is Aldi, whose bacon, at £2.40, offers a delightful balance of salty and smoky flavors, making it a surprising favorite among tasters. Richmond's bacon, while flavorful due to its special seasoning, was criticized for masking the natural taste of the meat, earning a score of 3.5 out of 5. Morrison's bacon, although delicious, suffered from texture issues, receiving a score of 3 out of 5. In contrast, both Marks & Spencer and Lidl fell short, with their bacon lacking the expected flavor and texture, scoring 2 out of 5 and 2.5 out of 5, respectively. Overall, Sainsbury's leads the pack, proving to be the best option for bacon lovers.
