Why use cypress branches to bacon?

Cypress leaves are rich in oil and have a special aromatic smell, which can prevent moths.

The meat was hung on the top of the firewood stove and smoked slowly with cypress branches. Gradually, the fresh meat turned into dry meat, and the color changed from white to yellow and from pink to dark red. Because smoked bacon is smoked by cypress branches, mosquitoes and flies will not climb up in summer and will not go bad after three days. It can be kept for a year or two, and you can take it down when you want to eat it.

Bacon is transparent and shiny, with bright color and reddish yellow. The taste is mellow, fat but not greasy, thin but not stuffed. It not only has unique flavor and rich nutrition, but also maintains the characteristics of good color, fragrance, taste and shape. It is an indispensable food for dining tables, wine, banquets, friends and holidays, and has become a unique local flavor food.
