The Spek Story

rooted in tradition

Where it Began

est. 2024

A Passion for Simply Excellent Pork. 

Our Bacon journey kicked off in January 2024, when Spek The Bacon Co. came to life, fuelled by a vision to create simply excellent pork products. We blend traditional curing techniques with modern technology, all while ensuring that every bite is consistently amazing.  

We’re all about creating delicious pork products, and our mission is to not only strive to be the best pork brand, but to craft offerings that embody excellence at every level. Our smoked meat range is expertly spiced and traditionally beech-wood smoked to tantalise your taste buds. We create delightful, fresh, value-added products like breakfast sausages, boerewors, and a fantastic array of steaks and chops that pork has to offer.

Our commitment to you

FSA APPROVED

We’re thrilled to have a fantastic supply of fresh-cut pork meat every day here in the Western Cape! It’s a huge advantage for the way the product cures and its incredible taste. We exclusively partner with FSA-approved food safety farms that are export certified and uphold top-notch animal welfare practices. This commitment guarantees not only sustainable business but also outstanding products that you can truly enjoy!  

Located in the vibrant heart of the winelands, our facility boasts FSA-accredited food safety standards, and we are eager to seize any export opportunities for fresh and processed pork products.  

Our produce is proudly showcased under the private label bacon brands of Pick ‘n Pay, Food Lovers Market, Checkers Meat Market, and Bidfood Cooking with Range, alongside a select group of core food service distributing partners nationwide.  

Our founders’ promise

rooted in tradition

With 45 years of experience in the pork industry, our founders are dedicated to delivering fresh pork cuts daily, tailored to our customers’ specifications. We wholeheartedly embrace the idea that nothing goes to waste. Every cut is cherished, and we’re all about maximising the value of the amazing protein we proudly call pork—it’s our passion and our livelihood!
