Sugardale Thick Sliced Bacon ranked supreme among the top selling brands of thick-cut bacon in a Cook’s Illustrated taste test. All bacon brands were rated on fat to protein ratio, sodium content, smokiness and sweetness balance. Taste testers loved how Sugardale Thick Sliced Bacon remains chewy even after the fat renders off and described it as a distinctive “maple-y” sweetness balancing with its moderate salt content and mild smoke flavor.* *Cook’s Illustrated 2019
