Gastros Gold Standard Bacon — 3 lbs

BUILT ON TRADITION. DRIVEN BY FLAVOR.

Gastros was founded by two chefs who believed in doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no compromises.

For over a decade, Owen and Travis have crafted premium meats by hand in a USDA-inspected facility, partnering with American farms raising Heritage Duroc pork.

Our bacon is naturally cured, smoked slow, and made without GMOs, antibiotics, or fillers.

Our mission is simple: to honor Old-World methods while creating bacon that today’s tables can be proud to serve.

Modern Equipment. Old-World Craft.

We use the same scale of equipment as the big national brands — but that’s where the similarity ends.

Every batch of Gastros Gold Standard Bacon is cut, cured, and smoked in small batches with meticulous attention to detail.

It’s Old-World craft, backed by modern consistency.

Zero shortcuts. Just real bacon, made right.

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

At Gastros, we partner directly with a network of small American family farms who raise 100% purebred Heritage Duroc pork with care, respect, and transparency.

  • No antibiotics in the meat.
  • Never genetically modified.


By working with Heritage Duroc and champion purebred genetics, every slice of Gastros bacon begins with the world’s best pork — raised the right way.

The Duroc Difference

Not all pork is created equal. Heritage Duroc is prized for its rich marbling, tender bite, and juicy, flavorful finish. Our refined lineage ensures consistency and quality in every slice.

  • Tender → Naturally marbled for the perfect texture.
  • Flavorful → Exceptional depth thanks to intramuscular marbling.
  • Juicy → Elevated pH balance locks in moisture.
  • Clean → Raised without antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs.

Frequently asked questions

How much bacon do I get in each order?

Each order includes 4 packs, 12oz each = 3 lbs total. Every pack is thick-cut, vacuum-sealed, and portioned for easy use. Whether you cook a little or a lot, the 4-pack format keeps your bacon fresh while giving you a full 3 lbs delivered.

Why is your bacon more expensive than grocery store brands?

Great question. Here’s how we compare:

Gastros Gold Standard Bacon → about $30 per lb shipped (with free 1–2 day cold delivery + freshness guarantee).

  • With auto-applied savings:

    5% off 1 order (3 lbs) → about $28.50/lb

    10% off 2 orders (6 lbs) → about $27/lb

    15% off 3+ orders (9 lbs+) → about $25.50/lb

Other premium bacon brands:

Mass-market grocery store bacon is cheaper — but it’s not the same product. Large brands often use additives, quick-curing shortcuts, and pork raised with antibiotics or growth hormones.

Gastros bacon is:

  • Heritage Duroc pork (refined for marbling and flavor).
  • Naturally cured and smoked in small batches.
  • Free from antibiotics, growth promotants, ractopamine, nitrates, nitrites, and junk.

With our tiered discounts, you can actually land at or below the per-pound price of other premium brands — with cleaner sourcing, humane practices, and free 1–2 day shipping included.

Do you use any fillers or preservatives?

None. No MSG, nitrates, nitrites, GMOs, or artificial junk. Just pork, natural spices, salt, and smoke.

Where do you source your pork?

We work with American farms raising Heritage Duroc pork — pigs bred for superior marbling, juiciness, and flavor. All are vegetarian-fed, crate-free, and raised without antibiotics or growth hormones.

Is your product organic?

While not certified organic, our standards meet or exceed organic requirements:

  • No GMOs
  • No pesticides or herbicides
  • No antibiotics or growth hormones
  • Humane, crate-free practices

Organic certification is often out of reach for small farms, but we hold our sourcing to higher standards.

How should I store my bacon?
