I prepared and smoked this bacon in July... it's been in the refer since...

Wrapped in American Made butcher paper so it will breathe.... I don't use plastic wraps as the food can't breathe and I believe plastic promotes bacterial growth.... It's been in the refer for daily use for about 40 days now....
The white stuff is lard.. I coated the slab with it to reduce the dehydrating effect during aging and it also helps in the refer.....
It's beautiful... Has awesome flavor.... I've been using it to season dishes I cook... rice... veggies... baked some for putting on a burger....
This bacon has no moisture... just awesome, intense bacon flavor... It is keeping very well the way it is wrapped....
I keep my fridge at ~34 deg. F....
I really like this butcher paper and the way it breathes and keeps meats... I guess this OLD DOG learned some new stuff....
Thanks for looking....
Dave....
