Back bacon contains meat from the loin in the middle of the back of the pig. [8] [12] It is a leaner cut, with less fat compared to side bacon. [1] Most bacon consumed in the United Kingdom and Ireland is back bacon. [8] [13] Collar bacon is taken from the back of a pig near the head. [8] [14]

Philippine tocino. Tocino is bacon in Spanish, [1] typically made from the pork belly and often formed into cubes in Spain.

Bacon wrapping is a style of food preparation, where bacon is wrapped around other ingredients or dishes, [1] and either grilled, fried, or baked..
