Guanciale

Guanciale is a type of Italian cured meat that is made from the jowl of a pig. It is a fatty cut of meat that is highly valued for its rich, intense flavor and tender texture.

Our guanciale is made from our own pasture-raised pork jowls and is seasoned with salt, black pepper and garlic before being hung to dry for several weeks. The curing process results in a meat that is highly flavorful, with a distinct aroma and a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It has a long shelf life of approximately 3 months.

Guanciale is a key ingredient in many classic Italian dishes, such as spaghetti alla carbonara and bucatini all'amatriciana. It is also used to add flavor to soups, stews, and other savory dishes. Compared to other types of cured pork products like pancetta and bacon, guanciale has a richer, more complex flavor profile, making it a prized ingredient in many kitchens.

Ingredients: Pasture-raised pork jowl, salt, pepper, nitrate, garlic. Allergens: may contain traces of nuts.
