Ayrshire is the traditional Scottish cure that takes skinless and boneless sides of outdoor-reared pork and slowly cures them in a vat to give it an exceptional flavour.
Once cured, the middle is rolled tightly, the fat side outermost. The gigot (leg) is rolled and tied and the shoulder cut into boiling joints. These are known as an Ayrshire roll.
The Ramsay family has been making Ayrshire bacon for well over 150 years.
Ramsays Ayrshire bacon is matured slowly to let the natural flavours develop, and because they don't add water or additives, their bacon won’t shrink away in the pan and will crisp up beautifully. So if you value good traditional produce you owe it to yourself to give Ramsays Ayrshire bacon a try.
