Pancetta Tesa – Sliced – 100g

Our butchers tips

Our Sliced Pancetta Tesa, is a nod to the rich culinary heritage of Italy, made in the heart of North Yorkshire. Our Pancetta Tesa, uses heritage breed pork from local farms and is a celebration of tradition and craftsmanship.

The Essence of North Yorkshire Meets Italian Tradition

The heritage breed pork, sourced from our trusted local farms, is renowned for its ideal fat content, laying the foundation for a flavour that is both rich and nuanced. This premium meat is then cured with a blend of salt and select spices, air-dried for 7-10 days, allowing the flavours to mature and intensify.

Flavour Profile:

• Savoury and Salty: At its core, the Pancetta Tesa boasts a robust savoury taste, enhanced by the curing process with sea salt, which accentuates the meat’s natural flavours, offering a deep and satisfying umami experience.
• Subtle Sweetness: The addition of sugar balances the saltiness, bringing out the inherent sweetness of the pork, adding a layer of complexity to its flavour profile.
• Herbal and Aromatic: The infusion of herbs like black pepper and juniper berries, along with select spices, lends the Pancetta Tesa a fragrant aroma and a subtle spice, enriching its taste with each bite.
• Rich and Fatty: The interplay of fat and spices is where the magic happens. As the pancetta cures, the fat absorbs the aromatic spices, transforming into a flavourful and melt-in-your-mouth experience that is both indulgent and unforgettable.
• Mildly Nutty: With ageing, the pancetta develops a mild nuttiness, an additional layer that adds to its complex flavour narrative, making each slice a discovery of taste.
