Tulip Bacon

Tulip Bacon is a Danish bacon product produced by Tulip Food Company A/S, a subsidiary of Danish Crown A/S. The bacon is made from pork belly, salted, and smoked over beech wood, a traditional method dating back over 100 years, resulting in an intense flavor. The product is manufactured in Denmark by Tulip Food Company, which is owned by Danish Crown A/S, a leading Danish meat processing company. Danish Crown A/S is headquartered in Denmark and is one of the largest meat processing companies in Europe, specializing in pork and beef products. The Tulip brand has been a significant player in the bacon market, especially in the United Kingdom, where it has held a leading share since the 1950s. The brand's strong presence in the UK was bolstered by a television advertising campaign in the 1950s, marking one of the first food products to be advertised on television. Over the years, Tulip Food Company has expanded its operations through acquisitions, including the purchase of Baconspecialist Zandbergen in the Netherlands in 2018, enhancing its bacon production capabilities in Europe. Despite these expansions, the Tulip brand remains closely associated with its Danish origins and continues to be produced primarily in Denmark.
