Best bacon hands down!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We cooked it up this morning, and usual bacon shrinks so badly. This bacon doesn't shrink as much. The texture and the taste is as it should be. Less salty and better flavor than all others!!

If you like thick bacon you found your brand as a whole
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went for Hormel Original and was surprised at the thickness of this bacon. It was flavorful but too thick for regular.

The BEST Bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down, Hormel Black Label Bacon is the best option out there. I've tried several brands and Hormel beats every single one. I definitely recommend cooking the entire package on a sheet pan in the oven. Perfect!

One of the Best Bacons on the Market
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hormel is a name we all know and trust. We love their chili and now we can love the bacon as well. Nicely cut, not too thin and not to thick. The cut is really good, so that when you pull it apart it doesn't rip. I love popping these in the oven and cooking them to a nice perfection...not chewy and not crispy. Really love this brand.

Good quality bacon that I would buy again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily eat bacon for breakfast on the weekend with eggs. It's also great when I make a homemade breakfast sandwich. Hormel Black Label has a really good quality bacon. It has a great taste. It cooks up great on my frying pan. It doesn't taste overly salty like other brands I have purchased. There is not really anything bad about this bacon. If I had to be nit picky the shape of the bacon is a bit different from others that I bought and makes it a little difficult to separate.

Best bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free product in exchange for my review. Thank you to Bzz Agent! Hormel Black Label bacon is the best bacon. It cooks well, crisps up easily and is not overly fatty. It has the right amount of salty flavor. Delicious!!!

Perfection!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was asked to give an honest review of Hormel Black Label bacon after trying the product for free. Now on to the most important part. The taste. Hormel Black Label bacon is obviously top notch. You know by just looking at the package, this is a high quality product. In a household of four, one package of bacon fed my entire family for breakfast. And let's not forget about the dog, bacon tax.. I decided to cook my bacon on a rack in my oven low and slow for about a half an hour or so. The uncooked strips were easy to remove from the package and place on the wire rack. The bacon was perfectly proportioned with the fat to meat ratio. The delicious bacon aroma filled my house and everyone was ready to eat. My family commented on the delicious taste and crispiness of the bacon. Hormel definitely understands quality equals customers. I will be purchasing this bacon many times in the future.

I will only buy this bacon going forward!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the most flavorful bacon I've had in a really long time! It also cooked very evenly and I always cook my bacon the same way- in the oven. The bacon doesn't usually cook as evenly when I've used other brands. This was great!

Use This Product As A Reference Benchmark!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that this could be a great product if it were made with either grass-fed beef or pastured poultry, and without nitrates / nitrites. Otherwise it makes a good reference product since pork has been determined to be a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. But do your own research and see what you find! Hormel certainly has some good products so use this one to lead to better offerings, and a healthier happier experience!

Not as good as it was
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this brand of bacon for years. I have noticed lately that the pieces seem to be thinner. It also doesn't get as crispy as it used to. It is still better than the other brands when it comes to the quality and price
