Virginia cure streaky bacon is made using a sweet-curing process that enhances the bacon's natural flavour. Its streaky layers of fat and meat deliver a perfect balance of crispiness and rich, smoky taste.
The pork was traditionally cured on farms in the tidewaters of Virginia, using a mixture of sugar and salt, then smoked. This premium bacon is perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or enhancing your favourite recipes.
The sweet-cured process gives this bacon a unique flavour profile, setting it apart from standard options. It’s versatile and works well in everything from hearty breakfasts to gourmet dishes.
Our bacon buyer has selected van der Meys bacon as the best available - this is the same bacon supplied to many of Scotland's top hotels and restaurants. The very best of the range, and exclusive to Campbells in the UK, is the Virginia Dry Cured bacon, a sweetly cured smoked streaky Bacon.
Ideal for frying, grilling, or baking, Virginia streaky bacon adds flavour to any dish. Perfect for breakfasts, fry or grill Virginia cure streaky bacon to crispy perfection and serve alongside eggs, toast, and tomatoes for a hearty breakfast.
Enhance your recipes and add depth to dishes by incorporating this sweet-cured bacon. Wrap it around chicken or asparagus, or chop it into pasta, salads, or soups for a smoky flavour boost. Ideal for sandwiches, layer streaky bacon into sandwiches or wraps for a rich, savoury addition. Try it in a classic BLT or a gourmet bacon and avocado toast.

Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
