Thread: Really strong flavoured bacon

Took a youngish boar to the butchers a while back to get done into bacon. These pigs have pretty good access to quality feed down the back of the farm (unfortunately) and we thought he would turn out fine. All of the other porkers that have been sausaged and rissoled have however this bacon is really strong, so strong I don’t think I can actually eat it. Have tried it marinated, in pies, scrolls, pasta dishes and I have to try and force myself to enjoy it. I thought about giving it away but I don’t think I want to offend anyone...
Are boars just not good for bacon?
Is there a particular reason why it would taste so strong? He wasn’t big and in very good nick.
Could it be poor processing from the butcher? Though he’s done a good job with all the other cuts we have had.
