Naturally smoked with sweet apple-wood. Since 1888, families have known the name Patrick Cudahy as one they can rely on for quality, for value and for the unmistakable flavor of our Sweet Apple-Wood Smoke. That's because we've never lost sight of the principles our founder set for us all those years ago. For instance, we still slow smoke our meats in our original five-story rotary smokehouse. This gives Patrick Cudahy bacon a difference you can taste in ever succulent strip.
