Flavour Analysis

Lardon’s first impression is powerful unctuous richness, but pork, oleic acid and smoke soon reveal the profile beneath. A toast note brings pronounced warm aroma, with a brine note setting a definite salty character alongside it, and char and rancio notes give the profile a rounded, lingering character.
