Recipe for unsalted bacon from iberico neck fillet

Iberico (the black-footed pig) pork is on par with high-quality beef in our world.

Therefore, we have chosen to combine our favorite breed of pork with our favorite dish: Bacon.

Our version is unsalted, which we can only do because we have a dry-aging cabinet (or dry-aging bags).

If you do not have this, you need to brine/cure the meat for 2-4 days for hygiene reasons.
