Guanciale di Maiale

An essential ingredient for authentic Italian cooking, guanciale is traditional dry-cured pork cheek seasoned with salt, black pepper, and aromatic spices. Cured in special aging rooms for approximately two months, each piece displays beautifully rosy lean meat layered with rich, sweet pork fat. When cooked, the fat renders down into a fragrant, velvety base while the meat crisps to perfection. It is the indispensable centerpiece for making classic Roman pasta dishes like Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Pasta all'Amatriciana, and Gricia.
