Guanciale - Imported from ITALY
Guanciale comes from the jowls of the pig, and while the Italian word guancia means cheek, guanciale, in a very Italian turn of phrase, means "pillow." So think of this as a pork pillow.
It's cured similarly to bacon, but it's not smoked. It has an Italian flair: a bit of rosemary is included. With more fat than pancetta, it’s intense, indulgent stuff and greatly magnifies the flavor of your dishes.
Guanciale, also known as cured pig cheek or jowl, is a staple in Italian cooking. Fattier and less meaty than its cousins pancetta and bacon, its velvety texture and robust flavor make it distinct from those other better-known cuts. The meat used is always from local farms. They use heavy pigs and process the same day. Our Guanciale is dry cured for 3 months in a mix of salt and spices.
