I usually buy Havoc Pork and bacon, but ran out and tried the beehive smokey bacon, so salty.

Used to love Kiwi Heritage Smoked then with the all the stink about imported pork and farrow pens, changed to Freedom Farms free range, but found it tasteless. So one year later, we're back loving Kiwi Heritage Smoked and I'm not even going to think about where's it from.

Agree #1, I find Beehive streaky too slaty. I use Freedom Farms streaky.

for anyone living around Ellerslie area, try the bacon at the butcher shop. They make their own and it's very tasty

We are lucky to have a butcher in Hastings that still make there own bacon, and hams. "Bald" old fella.

Try New World supermarkets in Dn Vintage Kitty - they all have it in Christchurch and I think I bought it in the centre city New World last time I was down.

I like veggie bacon. No hideous torture for pigs and it tastes really good.

No Earthangel veggie bacon is not gluten free. If you go to Asian shops they have veggie ham & bacon subs that are g/f and excellent.
