Can't give a definitive answer to that one, other than I just find it tastes 'good' or 'to MY' preference. Others, relatives and friends, always describe it as the best bacon they have tasted.. although to be fair they haven't tasted the others, other than pre-packed supermarket bought. They always comment on the lack of 'white stuff' whilst cooking it.
As I say, I didn't go for it for 'organics' sake, I did some bartering with Spuddy and that is what he sent me, and I am glad he did. I have tried adding the smoke powder and although it is still very good with it in, I prefer it 'as is'. Generally preferring my bacon green, but I do cure pigs cheeks with the organic cure and then smoke them over oak chippings..
