We preserved shoulders, hams and bacon in similar methods. I understand, of course, that bacon, even here in the U.S. probably isn't as well preserved as in the days ago, but should be good for at least 6 months if kept in a cool and dark place. Maybe it different in the U.K./Europe... Thanks for any enlightenment!
