Guanciale

Pork cheek peppered Guanciale approx 1.7kg

Discover the bold and flavorful taste of Guanciale! This beloved Italian salt-cured meat is traditionally made from pork cheeks or jowls and is bursting with rich and complex flavors. Its name is derived from the Italian word "guancia", meaning cheek, and its renowned for adding depth to pasta sauces. Unlike other pork products, such as pancetta, Guanciale has a more delicate texture and a bolder taste due to its three week long curing process. In Rome, it is simply rubbed with salt and pepper, but some producers add a touch of herbs, spices, peperoncino, or red pepper to enhance the flavor.
