EPIC Provisions Maple Bacon Pork Cracklings are the ultimate healthy indulgence made from a blend of antibiotic-free, non-GMO, organic, and pastured pork that’s seasoned with maple sugar. Allowing more whole animal utilization, pork skins are an extension of EPIC’s Whole Animal Project, a “snout-to-tail” commitment to honor each animal sourced. What is a crackling? A crackling is a fried pork skin obtained from the shoulder region of a pig. It’s harder and crispier than a pork rind. Also unlike rinds, they contain small portions of meat that adhere to the skin, adding extra protein and flavor.
