Rich in intramuscular fat and deeply savory, it’s the cut behind guanciale — the Italian cured jowl that’s the traditional base for carbonara and amatriciana. But you don’t have to cure it to enjoy it. Slow-braised, it becomes meltingly tender. Smoked, it develops a deep, rich bark. Sliced and pan-fried, it crisps up beautifully like the most flavorful bacon you’ve ever had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry it braised low and slow in white wine and aromatics until fork-tender, or cure it with salt, pepper, and herbs for a few weeks to make your own guanciale at home. It’s also excellent smoked whole and sliced thin, or rendered down for a rich cooking fat with incredible depth of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality You Can Taste:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between pasture-raised and conventional pork is unmistakable.
