Tasteofthelakes.com wins Great Taste Award

Tuesday, 24 June 2008
Tasteofthelakes.com and The Old Smokehouse are celebrating after winning a prestigious Great Taste Award. We have been presented with a 2008 Gold 1 Star award for our Smoked Cumbrian, free range Saddleback Back Bacon.

This product along with our Pancetta, Ham and Sausages is now produced and smoked from pigs reared specially for at The Old Smokehouse on Brougham Farm (directly behind the smokehouse). The piglets are left with their mother for much longer, reducing the need for antibiotics. They have access to fields and woodland. They produce pork that is rather more fatty than your usual indoor reared pigs but the flavour is fantastic.
