A type of meat produced from the eye of the loin or the adjacent area that provides a layer of fat surrounding the meat. Similar to Canadian bacon, this meat is cured, smoked and cut into round slices. However, unlike Canadian bacon which is very lean, the fat is retained around the edge of the loin to enhance the flavor.
