Guanciale by Viani- 2 lb (1.8 pound)

Guanciale by Viani- 2 lb (2.5 pound) Guanciale or Jowl is produced similar to pancetta but contains more fat delivering a succulent rounded taste. Made the traditional way by Viani from hog jowls for a staple of authentic Italian cooking, and recently re-popularized by chefs such as Mario Batali. The skinned meat is cured in sea salt for a month, remove from the salt, seasoned with black pepper, coriander, rosemary, and bay leaf, then air-dry to complete the cure. The result is a unique flavor that elevates any culinary preparation and is irresistible when sampled on its own. Use rendered as an ingredient in sauces and sautes for a delicious unctuous quality, or slice thin and wrap around meat for grilling. This long-lasting product also makes a fantastic pasta carbonara! Weights may vary, as this is a natural product.
