Guanciale - 200g
£4.25
Guanciale is a type of salumi made from cured pork cheek, and is similar – although importantly different – to bacon and pancetta. The cheek is cured in salt and flavoured with pepper, sage, rosemary and garlic, It’s then left to cure for around three months, to allow the flavours to develop.
In Italy, it is unheard of to make celebrated pasta dishes such as carbonara or amatriciana without guanciale.
