The curing of bacon is at the 39th hour. There is a folk custom in our country of "pickling bacon in the winter wind and storing it to survive the winter". After winter, it is best to pickle bacon in a weather of about 10 degrees. The light snow season after the beginning of winter is the best time to make bacon. At this time, the temperature rises sharply. As the weather gets drier, it's a good time to process bacon.

The taste of bacon is the most authentic when it is stored at room temperature before the third month of the lunar calendar. As the temperature rises, although the meat quality remains unchanged, the taste will become harsh. Therefore, after the third month of the lunar calendar, bacon cannot be stored at room temperature.

When preserving bacon, you need to be careful not to hang the bacon in the sun, otherwise a lot of oil will be released, which will seriously affect the taste and quality of the bacon. In addition, you should be careful not to blow the bacon directly in strong wind and avoid drying the bacon. Too dry and hard.

According to experience, the best way to preserve bacon is to wash the bacon, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the cold room of the refrigerator, so that it can be stored for a long time. If stored well, it will not become stale or wormy even if it lasts three to five years.
