Postal prices

It's that time of yeah again - the Royal Mail have put up the postal prices once again. And this time they've seen fit to remove all the options below 750g for small packets which means you have to pay a minimum of £2.20 to send anything up to 6 jars of Bacon Salt. Before we could give better prices for single jars but now it's not really financially viable to buy single jars.

We've done our best to absorb the increases for you - we haven't raised any prices and will never charge you more than £1.99 for P&P (much less than it costs us). But the end result is it's now much more expensive to buy single jars. To soften the blow, we decreased the prices of the multipacks as it's now much better value to go for these instead of single jars.  As ever, please just email us with your order and we'll get right back to you :)

We're open ... promise!

We're open again but are having troubles with our Google Checkout payment system. We're definitely still shipping out Bacon Salt, Baconnaise and Malt Salt though - please email us your orders or send payment to us via PayPal. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

Orders suspended

Unfortunately we've had to temporarily stop taking orders while we move premises. Sorry for the inconvenience and we promise we'll be back soon!

New Malt Salt site launched

You can now buy Malt Salt directly from our specialist Malt Salt site! We have been furiously shipping out stocks all weekend and they should be arriving across the UK this week. If you want to buy Bacon Salt at the same time, please buy Malt Salt from the regular site as you'll save money on postage that way. Enjoy!

Malt Salt now in stock!

Malt Salt just arrived with us and we'll be busy labelling and packaging it for dispatch later today! All pre-orders should be received early next week. We're sure it'll be worth the wait :)

Malt Salt delayed but will be here soon

Unfortunately, we've received news from Seattle that there'd been a manufacturing problem at the Malt Salt factory and there's currently a worldwide shortage! Luckily, we have the first fresh batch coming out to us as fast as possible and we should be able to start dispatching all pre-orders by next week. Sorry for the delay.

Now taking orders for Malt Salt!

We're thrilled to finally be able to be able to offer Malt Salt on pre-order to UK customers. Yes, the new product from J&D's that doesn't taste like bacon! The idea for Malt Salt - a seasoning that added the flavour of malt vinegar to things like fish and chips without getting them soggy or cold - has been haunting us for some time.

It's already been featured in the Guardian, Telegraph and Daily Mail. It's tasty, malty, crispy and spot on. Order yours now!

Most delicious Bacon Salt snack yet?

We love Jalapeño Poppers but don't have a deep-fat fryer. To keep things healthy (remember, Bacon Salt is zero calorie and low sodium), we came up with a recipe for Baked Bacon Jalapeño Poppers. Be warned, they are very addictive!

Baked Bacon Jalapeño Poppers

• Large jalapeño peppers
• Soft cream cheese
• finely grated Cheddar cheese
• Garlic, crushed
• Fresh herbs
• Cheddar Bacon Salt (for extra kick, use Jalapeño Bacon Salt)

Slice the jalapeños in half and scoop out the membranes and seeds, setting aside. Next, make the filling by mixing together equal amounts of cream cheese and Cheddar cheese and add a generous amount of garlic, herbs, and Bacon Salt as well as the jalapeño seeds. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C. Fill each half jalapeño with a generous scoop of the cheesy filling. Place the filled peppers on a tray and bake in the oven until the cheese is golden. Leave to cool for a minute and try not to finish them all at once.

New flavours added!

We're delighted to announce that we're now stocking eight (count 'em - 8!) flavours of Bacon Salt after having added the delicious Jalapeño, Maple, Applewood and Cheddar varieties to our inventory. Let us know what your new favourite is!
