Dear George and Amanda, I never normally do this, but I wanted to say thank you for your fantastic bacon. Over the years I have eaten in various restaurants (around the world!) and on very rare occasions I have tasted bacon that has the right balance between salt and smoke with a little underlying sweetness. Usually there is too much of one or the other, or the bacon is so over processed it doesn't taste of anything. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every time I buy bacon I hope to discover that
illusive flavour: I've tried lots of brands, but am always disappointed. Yours on the other hand is the taste I've been searching for: it's brilliant! Sorry to ramble on, but I just wanted to say thanks, and lots of them.
All the very best

(Ps I bought it in Sainsbury's if that means anything)

Hi Spoilt Pig Company,

Just a quick note to say that my wife bought your bacon because of the claims on the packaging with regards to the way that your pigs are kept, and that she is also fed up with me complaining about, "Shrinking white water trash" that seems to pass as bacon these days. Your bacon was excellent, it kept its shape in the pan and fried perfectly browning just as it should do, and the taste, well it was great really enjoyed it and we will obviously continue to buy your product, thank you for putting the time and effort into producing this bacon it is nice to see that producers such as yourselves believe in producing a product that actually is, what it should be, fantastic, cheers.

I would like to complement you on your excellent Mature Cheddar sold in Waitrose. The texture and taste are superb. There are no other producers that get even close to this cheddar. Many congratulations.

My Wife and I have just tried your, ''Denhay Dry Cured Bacon', and have only one comment,
Wow
It may have been our first taste but it will not be our last. It is the best we have ever tasted.

I "discovered" your Dry Cured bacon in my local Waitrose this week. It looked good and I read the info on the back about its production and decided to try it.

All I can say is "Wow!" It's been a lot of years since I cooked bacon which didn't have any white gunk leaking as it cooked. It crisped up wonderfully, didn't shrink and tasted amazing.

I will be telling all my friends and looking out for your other products.

"The more you can sell the sooner all the garbage that passes for bacon will be swept away! And pigs will get a decent life. I've emailed about 30 of my friends today to tell them of my find. So often I have bought bacon that has smelled fine when I've cooked it but has tasted awful. Yours is perfection. The only other one that I like is Daylesford Organic, which is mail order. To have something of such good quality as Spoiltpig in local supermarkets is definitely the way forward.

In case you like crab, you should try a company called Seafoodandeatit. I found it in Waitrose, I've not seen it anywhere else. The company offers pure unadulterated white crab meat, brown crab and potted crab, which is to the seafood world what you are to bacon. To a dedicated foodie like me you people are the guys who should be getting the £650,000 pensions!!! "

"We've just finished another breakfast with your Spoiltpig bacon (unsmoked dry cured back) bought from Morrisons.

We must congratulate you on this wonderful bacon.  It's the first time in a long while that we have had a real bacon flavour and texture.  And when frying, there is no water in the pan, the fat crisps beautifully.  Please keep Morrisons supplying this, we love it.

It's important to let producers know when their products are good, well done to all at the farm there. 

Oh dear, none left, off to Morrisons again!

Many thanks"

"Dear Denhay, just a quickie postcard to say how excellent your bacon is!! The best I’ve tasted...and very happy to read that your pigs are OUTDOOR reared: Thank you for giving them a GOOD life."

Liz from West Midlands, August 2008

"Dear Sir, My husband and I have at last found a bacon that does not leave a watery residue and has a true smokey flavour with just the right amount of fat to keep it from drying out. We were in pigs for many years until we retired so we do know what good bacon should taste like. Congratulations on getting your produce just perfect."
