Like so many others, we love bacon but must avoid it for health reasons. So when we heard of this product -and its companion spread, Baconnaise -we ordered every flavor made, for ourselves and for gifts to family and friends, from Amazon and from the company website.
We weren't disappointed. Every flavor is authentically, satisfyingly "bacony". And despite the name, it's not at all salty; low-sodium versions are available, which means bacon lovers (even vegetarians) can satisfy their yearnings without the health risks associated with heavy animal fats.
BTW, one thing we especially appreciate about Bacon Salt's makers (two high-tech guys who, over a meal, confessed that they'd always wished everything could taste like bacon, then funded their venture with $10K won on "America's Funniest Home Videos") is their "Operation Bacon Salt," in which orders shipped from the company to APO addresses sell for half-price. It's refreshing to find a firm that will not only ship to APO addresses (not all do), but will actually do something generous for our men and women who serve in the military. It's a cool (and legal) way, too, to get that lovely, bacony flavor to military personnel who serve in countries where bacon and other pork products are not permitted.
Try all the flavors. And try the yummy Baconnaise, too; it comes in regular and "lite" versions, and lets you make a low-calorie, low-sodium, zero cholesterol BLT that will just about make any bacon-lover's day. It's also wonderful on a baked potato.
We have no commercial interest in the company, and do (and will continue to do) most of our shopping on Amazon. We're just big fans of Bacon Salt products, happy to see their products available here.
this is the best thing to have when you are stuck on a limited diet. it is exactly bacon flavored, not kind of or sort of, but spot on. a must have for popcorn snackers.
Buy J&D's Bacon Salt Sampler 4-pack Now
Good stuff! I bought the four pack sampler... Original, Natural, Smoked, and Peppered. The Peppered is my favorite as it has a nice black pepper flavor, but there really isn't a big difference in the flavors that I can tell for the other three. I still really like it and eat all four on about everything I can think of... including popcorn. I do wish that it had a stronger bacon flavor and a more discernible difference in accompanying flavors though.
Read Best Reviews of J&D's Bacon Salt Sampler 4-pack Here
Some reviews will tell you this is the best spice others will say this is fake tasting. To me and my bacon-loving-wife it's a fair substitute. If you use this "salt" you will get a bacon flavor and you will get a little salt. This product will give you a bacon flavor. The dishes I have used it most in is my baked potato soup. The soup turns orange, but I do get a bacon flavor without having to add bacon. This can be a good substitute when bacon is not around. It will not take the place of bacon in all cooking. The part of the bacon that adds the most flavor is the fat. This can not be mimicked. Also, one of the things bacon adds is texture.
As I have said: good substitute. It's also a good novelty item or something for the in-laws to talk about during supper.
Want J&D's Bacon Salt Sampler 4-pack Discount?
My family would literally love to have everything flavored with bacon. There can never be too much. Therefore, everything from baconnaise to J&D's bacon lip balm (I kid you not), has been a hit. Since we can never have enough, when we start to run low I tend to pick up the bacon salt sampler's when they are on sale (they make great -odd gifts as well)
These bars are great tasting and mine are VERY fresh. They also are much healthier than other bars that you can take on the go. My husband and grown kids also love them so they are going fast at my house.
