Bábolna-Hús Smoked Kolozsvár Bacon £22.00/kg
Bábolna-Hús Smoked Kolozsvári Bacon is made the classic way in Bábolna: rind-on pork belly is packed in salt for 3–4 weeks, then smoked for about a week and dried before sale. The result is a robust, gently smoky bacon with a balanced saltiness and a firm, easy-to-slice texture. Enjoy it thinly sliced on fresh bread with onions and pickles, cube and render it as a flavour base for soups, beans or cabbage dishes, or skewer and roast it over an open flame for true countryside style. Pieces are sold by weight.
Ingredients: Pork bacon with skin (pork belly), table salt, curing salt mixture (table salt, preservative: E250). (Ingredients and traditional curing/smoking method per the producer’s listing.)
History: “Kolozsvári szalonna” takes its name from Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca) in historic Transylvania and is a long-standing style of Hungarian smoked bacon. Salt-preserved and smoked pork fatback or belly—collectively known as “szalonna”—has been a pantry staple across Hungary for generations, used both as a cold cut and as a cooking fat and seasoning.
