About the product
Guanciale is an Italian cured meat product prepared from pork jowl or cheeks.
Pork cheek is rubbed with salt and spices (typically ground black or red pepper, thyme, or fennel, and sometimes garlic) and cured for three weeks or until it loses approximately 30% of its original weight. Its flavour is stronger than other pork products, such as pancetta, and its texture is more delicate. Upon cooking, the fat typically melts away.
Guanciale may be cut and eaten directly in small portions but is often used as an ingredient in pasta dishes such as “spaghetti alla carbonara” and sauces like “sugo all’Amatriciana”.
