Definitely 5 Stars!!	March 14, 2023
Reviewer: Big Pete from 'merica!

This bacon is some of the best I've ever experienced! Yes, it's salty, but the flavor and smell are unequal to any other bacons! Cook up and eat as is or eat it alongside some eggs and grits!

Best Bacon Ever	February 15, 2023
Reviewer: Jayna Rossi from ROANOKE, VA United States

I just saw a one star review and had to stop what I was doing and write my own. I don't even understand that review. There is nothing chemical or acidic about Benton's bacon. It IS VERY salty and I have seen other reviews state to put in the freezer if you think it's too salty. I am normally a cripsy bacon fan, but I have found this bacon hits the sweet spot just slightly under crispy. The flavor is just magical. I have been giving this bacon as a gift to family members. This bacon is gold. I can't go back to grocery store bacon.

Sadly, not good	February 6, 2023
Reviewer: Karen from TYRONE, PA United States

I so wanted to love this bacon because of the great reviews and I love bacon. It definitely did not live up to the hype. Cooked first pound when received and the chemical, acrid smell was so bad and strong, it lingered in my home for days. The taste was chemical-like and we couldn't eat it, it was so strong. We ended up throwing it in the trash. Put other 3 lbs in freezer. It's been a couple of months and cooked 2nd pkg - not as bad a first but still had a horrible chemical-like smell and taste. Was able to eat some of it, but it gave me serious indigestion. All I did was burp that nasty chemical taste/smell. It's truly horrible and very acrid. My grandfather butchered his own pigs and smoked hams and bacon. I've never had anything that tastes even remotely as awful as this bacon smelled and tasted. Would not recommend and will not buy again. :(

Best Bacon in My Opinoin	January 29, 2023
Reviewer: Karl Pease from West Warwick, RI United States

I have been purchasing this bacon for quite a few years now and it never fails to be the best. The curing and smoking process is fool proof every time. Do yourself a favor and purchase this bacon. You'll be back for more.

Best bacon ever!!!	November 29, 2022
Reviewer: eric kellner from franklin, TN United States

Iv been eating BentonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bacon for years and love it! If your BLT doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have BentonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bacon on youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re missing out! Not the store bought garbage. Salty and smoky goodness every timeÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Salty when it came then I let it sit in my freezer	November 27, 2022
Reviewer: Lauren from Harper Woods, MI

I saw the other review of how wildly salty this bacon was, and I would have agreed with that reviewer entirely. The bacon had been hyped up to me by a friend so I was really disappointed. I bought a four pack so the other three went in my chest freezer for almost a year. I decided to get it out to use for Thanksgiving (thinking I wouldn't need much salt in my potatoes) and found the salt had entirely mellowed.

The bacon now tasted like it was fresh off a campfire. It's incredible. My father in law nibbled some and said it was unlike anything he'd ever had. I shared my story with a friend who said the salt had: "Bound with meat proteins to denature/cure them, leaving less free soluble sodium for taste buds."

Well there you are. So freeze your bacon if it's too salty!

Long time customer and......	November 6, 2022
Reviewer: Bill from Spokanistan, WA United States

Life long customer! I can't even imagine eating any other bacon besides Benton's now. Just ordered another 40 lbs. for the deep freeze. Even with the shipping charge it's still cheaper than most bacon in my local grocery stores. A big Thank You to Allan and his crew! Your work is greatly appreciated!

Arrived today. Cooked some right away	October 31, 2022
Reviewer: John Woodham from Eufaula, AL United States

Oh man it immediately took me back to my grandmother's smokehouse. The auroma of smoke right from the package. It was a if I was a child again. I cooked some immediately. It was wonderful. Reminded me of days long ago and breakfast at my grandmother's and great grandmother's house. Early mornings when we would go to the smokehouse for bacon. Hog killing time. Thank you for all those memories. The bacon was delicious, the real thing. Loved every bite. Note:My wife was very concerned bc it arrived warm. I laughed and explained to her why that was ok.

INEDIBLE!!!	October 1, 2022
Reviewer: Ron Whitsitt from Sonoma, CA United States

Have contested credit card charge, and will attempt to return unopened packages. Tastes like a block of salt soaked in Liquid Smoke. My dog won't eat it! Actually tastes like they brined the meat, because a rub was too labor intensive. This is September 2022, I note all the other bacon reviews are from early 2021. Maybe the "smoker" died, and was replaced by an inexperienced cook. This "bacon" is literally INEDIBLE!!!
