RICH MARBLING AND DEEP FLAVOR

Unlike pancetta, which is generally made from pork belly, guanciale is made from pork jowl. Its natural marbling gives it a richer texture and deeper flavor.

For best results, slice or dice the guanciale and cook gently over medium to low heat. The fat will slowly render into the pan and can be used as the flavorful base for your sauce.
