A classic Italian whole-muscle cure that brings unmatched richness to your cooking. Traditionally crafted from the pork jowl, Guanciale is one of Italy’s most prized cooking cures. Our Guanciale is seasoned with fresh herbs and sea salt, finished with fragrant orange zest, then slowly cured and dried for six weeks in our curing cave to develop its signature buttery texture and deep, savory flavor. Cut into convenient lardons, this diced pork jowl is the essential ingredient for classic dishes like Carbonara and Amatriciana, while also adding incredible depth to pizzas, pastas, sauces, roasted vegetables, and any recipe that benefits from rich, authentic pork flavor. As it cooks, the beautiful fat slowly renders, creating a silky richness and complex flavor that transforms simple ingredients into something extraordinary. Pair this luxurious pork richness with bold Italian reds like Chianti and Barolo, or enjoy it as part of an elevated charcuterie experience.
