Born of the current trend for DIY culinary processes, the Great British love of bacon, and a gap in the market for a product that combines the two, The Homemade Curing Kit... Bacon contains everything you need to create great tasting original, sweet and smoky bacon in your own home. All you need to do is add the pork!

First in the range, The Homemade Curing Kit... Bacon was launched in October 2014 to rave reviews from top industry buyers. It became an immediate bestseller on both Ross & Ross' own website and on Notonthehighstreet.com, and has since received national media coverage and international attention.

Second in the range was The Homemade Curing Kit... Spicy Bacon, which introduced some more unusual cures. Taking influences from flavours like gin, classic pork charcuterie and the British love of spice, Ross & Ross created some slightly different, truly different bacon for the adventurous foodie.

The most recent addition to the range is the soon-to-be-launched Homemade Curing Kit... Salmon. They collaborated with fellow award winning local Cotswolds producer The Cotswolds Distillery to bring you a gin cure, along with a beetroot and a smoky cure, to introduce you to some of the classic flavours of cured salmon. All three cures take just three days to create truly gorgeous tasting salmon in just three days.

Ross Bearman, co-founder/Director of Ross & Ross Food, said: “Our curing kits make perfect gifts for any occasion or even just as a treat for yourself. Whether you just want to give someone something a little different this year, or you want to try your hand at some true artisan processes, it's the curing kits you're looking for. ”

Ross Whitmill, co-founder/Director of Ross & Ross Food, said: “There's such a huge trend for these DIY cooking processes now. As a chef, I'm a big fan of anything that gets people into their kitchens, and these kits are definitely doing that. It's a great way to support your local butchers and fishmongers as well – they'll sort you out with the best meat and fish which is very important if you want good results!”

Between them, Ross and Ross have over 30 years' worth of experience in the food industry. The pair met whilst opening two gastro style pubs for the Peach Pubs Company. They gained their experience with fine food from the likes of Raymond Blanc and Paxton & Whitfield. They founded Ross & Ross Food together four years ago.
