I'm intrigued. That seems a fair bit different than the uncured bacon I'm familiar with in the US [0], but I would certainly give it a try.

(Note that this product is actually cured with nitrates via the celery powder in the ingredients list.)

Ah, the magic of marketing.

It's exactly the same, except one uses celery. No, in fact, if I remember correctly, the nitrates used in the "uncured" process were even higher than the normal process.
