MKONO Farm Black Pepper Jowl Bacon
Rich, bold, and unmistakably luxurious — MKONO Farm Black Pepper Jowl Bacon is a butcher’s cut designed for those who appreciate deep, old-world flavor. Made from the pork cheek and expertly seasoned with cracked black pepper, this bacon offers an elevated balance of savory richness and gentle spice.
Jowl is naturally more marbled than traditional bacon, allowing it to render slowly and develop an irresistibly crisp edge while remaining tender beneath. The black pepper forms a fragrant crust as it cooks, enhancing the pork’s natural character without overpowering it.
Raised on regenerative pastures and stewarded with intention, our heritage pigs are given the freedom to forage and grow as nature intended — a difference you can taste in every bite.
Whether folded into pasta, layered over a warm salad, paired with eggs, or featured on a chef-worthy charcuterie board, Black Pepper Jowl Bacon brings depth and distinction to any meal.

MKONO Farm — Stewardship You Can Taste.Our small batch Indiana swinery specializes in NON GMO smoked bacons. Our jowl bacon is smoked and sliced pork jowls (cheeks). Jowl bacon is known for being more fat than meat and thus we highly recommend the cold oven baking method for this type of bacon. We dry cure our jowl bacon with toasted and freshly cracked black pepper and corriander. It is then smoked on hickory and cherry. 1 pound packs.

A note from our processor: "We 'cure' with all natural sea salt, celery juice powder, and seasoning for a no added nitrite/nitrate guilt free product. We use an all natural hickory wood smoke with just a slight hint of smoke. Not the liquid smoked product some do not enjoy."
