What is peameal back bacon?

First of all, let me say what it is not. In Canada you would never hear an order for 'Canadian Bacon'. Rather, 'two over easy with peameal' can be heard everywhere. Back bacon is made from the boneless pork loin, with the fat trimmed to 1/8" and cured in a sweet pickle brine. The special ingredients used in the cure create a product that is less salty than regular bacon with a touch of sweetness. The loin is then rolled in yellow cornmeal giving it the signature 'peameal' coating and par-baked to ensure uniformity.

What does it taste like?

There is really nothing to compare to the flavor of peameal back bacon. Light and lean, a little sweet and a little tart , tender and juicy! The 'Canadian Bacon' found in your supermarket is neither Canadian nor is it bacon! It is ham and tastes nothing like peameal bacon. Until you taste the unique flavor of CanAm Peameal Back Bacon, you are missing a dining milestone.

Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner.

Ideal with eggs any style, peameal bacon is the bacon called for in Eggs Benedict! The subtle flavor compliments the tastes of eggs and sauces like Hollandaise. The Canadian BLT made with peameal bacon, served with or without cheese on a Kaiser roll is a favorite of Canadians everywhere. The roasted peameal dinner is a dining experience not to be missed.
