Description
What is Virginia cure streaky bacon?
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.
Why choose Virginia sweet-cured bacon?
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 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.
How to cook Virginia cure streaky bacon
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat or preheat your grill to a medium setting. No need for additional oil, as the bacon will release its natural fat during cooking.
- Place the streaky bacon slices flat in the pan or on the grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
- Remove the bacon from the heat and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
- Serve immediately as part of your meal or recipe.

Packaging
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.
