Loading... Please wait...This classic Italian charcuterie is an old-world staple. Guanciale is pork jowl cured with an herb rub and hanged dried. Traditionally used in many pasta sauces, we highly recommend it as a bacon alternative – slightly firmer, a bit sweeter and more pronounced with herb accents.

As the description says, this is a great bacon alternative. Great in sauces, or in recipes calling for pancetta or bacon (rolled around scallops or chicken livers for an extra special rumaki! If you have a special recipe calling for guanciale, this is the stuff to get!
