112 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
REAL BACON TAKES TIME.
Traditional dry curing. Slow smoking.
REAL BACON STARTS WITH REAL PORK.
100% New Zealand pork.
REAL BACON HAS A STORY.
Five generations. One Hawke’s Bay family.
REAL BACON IS WORTH REMEMBERING.
While the world around us has changed, our approach hasn’t after 111 years.
Holly Bacon is a fifth-generation, family-owned New Zealand producer specialising in dry-cured bacon, ham on the bone, sausages, and traditional smallgoods made using 100% New Zealand pork.
We still focus on small batches, traditional processes, and quality over quantity. We keep our history alive with every product we make.
The flavor you taste today is the result of generations refining one process, not reinventing it every few years.
Our family has put its name on a product for five generations, consistency matters and that’s why our bacon tastes the way it does.
Our history is why our product is worth choosing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Hands down the best bacon we’ve had in years. You can genuinely taste the difference — proper flavour, beautifully smoked, and it crisps perfectly every time. We ordered the bacon subscription for the first time and now Holly Bacon is a staple in our house. It’s so good knowing we’re supporting a long-standing NZ family business as well.”
