Choosing the Right Bacon for High-Volume Catering & Wholesale Supply
When you’re sourcing bacon for large-scale catering, food service or wholesale distribution, the cut you choose directly impacts consistency, yield and overall cost efficiency. Different grades behave differently during cooking, packaging and portioning — so understanding the options helps buyers make smarter, more profitable decisions.
Prime Back Bacon — Premium, Lean & Consistent
Prime Back Bacon is produced from the leanest, driest section of the loin.
It delivers:
- Uniform slicing
- Low shrinkage
- Reliable cooking performance
- Clean, premium presentation
For buyers supplying hotels, cruise ships, contract catering or export markets, Prime Back offers a dependable top-tier option with strong yield and repeatable quality.
Selected Back Bacon — Value, Volume & Solid Performance
Selected Back Bacon includes a small percentage of shoulder, giving it a slightly different texture and a more cost-effective price point — without compromising flavour.
It’s a smart choice for:
- High-volume food service
- Large-scale catering operations
- Wholesale redistribution
- Buyers balancing quality with budget
You still get a consistent product, but with greater price efficiency for margin-sensitive applications.
Streaky Bacon — High Flavour & International Appeal
Streaky Bacon remains one of the most popular cuts across export markets and global food service.
It offers:
- Higher fat content for superior flavour
- Crispier finish when cooked
- Strong demand across international menus
Perfect for QSR, cruise lines, manufacturing and markets where streaky is the preferred choice.
