The Baconer’s Authentic, High Quality & Responsibly-Sourced Products Reinforce Eataly’s Vision to Give Customers an Experience to Interact with Exceptional Food

EMERYVILLE, CA, USA, January 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Benvenuto! In stores now and just in time to help consumers elevate their 2022 culinary lineup to new heights, The Baconer—the craft producer leading innovation in the bacon aisle—announced a partnership with Eataly, the immersive Italian marketplace. Through the partnership, Eataly shoppers can discover The Baconer products including their 2022 award-winning XXL Bacon Steaks, Smoked Lardons, Small Batch Bacon Strips, and Ground Bacon. The Baconer’s lineup of products is available in the meat department next to the butcher counter in Eataly stores including: Eataly Boston, Eataly Chicago, Eataly Dallas, Eataly L.A., Eataly NYC Flatiron, and Eataly NYC Downtown.

“In identifying a partner for The Baconer’s next phase of growth, it was important to find a leading food marketplace with a shared passion for inspiring people with the most authentic, high-quality and hand-crafted products,” said Camilo Velasquez, CEO and co-founder, The Baconer. “Eataly is a gastronomic wonderland. Their value proposition to bring the best regional food products to consumers aligns with our vision, and propels us forward as we continue to disrupt the bacon category.”

The Original Bacon Slingers, Camilo Velasquez and Elisa Lewis, were a part of an underground supper Club, feeding neighborhood folks five- to seven-course meals, complete with a wine pairing in their shared industrial loft apartment. It was here that this dynamic duo began learning to cure their own meats. The husband-and-wife team moved to California and The Baconer got its start producing in a local commissary in Oakland, CA, selling on weekends at Bay Area farmers markets. Fast forward a few years and today The Baconer's indulgently thick cut bacon offerings are expertly smoked and cut in Cloverdale, CA with the same attention to detail and quality that set them apart from the start. Now headquartered in Emeryville, CA, The Baconer is a leading craft producer focused on redefining how Americans think about, prepare, cook with and enjoy responsibly-sourced, premium quality bacon and related products.

The Eataly concept was born from Oscar Farinetti’s idea sketched on a piece of paper in November 2002. The idea was simple: to gather under one roof high-quality food at sustainable and reasonable prices for ALL, celebrate Italian biodiversity, and create an informal, natural, and simple place to eat, shop, and learn. Established in 2007 in Turin—home of the slow food movement—Eataly now operates quality Italian markets in 11 countries around the world. Eataly is well regarded for its authentically prepared Italian foods and its use of high-quality Italian and local ingredients. Eataly locations offer an expansive marketplace, restaurant and even cooking school—the combination of which makes for an experience not found anywhere else.

“When shoppers come to Eataly—they know to expect high-quality ingredients—which is why partnering with Baconer was a perfect fit,” said Pete Molinari, Head of Meat and Seafood at Eataly. “They craft artisanal bacon products that are not only delicious, but crafted with care, by people who share our passion for eating better and living better.”
