Smoked Guanciale Bacon – 225g

Cured & Air Dried Pig Cheek Bacon

This is our own version of guanciale, using our Old Fashioned sea salt cure with thyme and black pepper. Great as an addition to pasta dishes. We cut this in thick slices for dicing to add to cooking, but it’s also great as a bacon.

What Makes Our Guanciale Special?

Traditional Smoking Process: Our guanciale is smoked using traditional methods, imparting a deep, smoky flavour that enhances its natural richness. The smoking process not only adds complexity but also preserves the meat, allowing you to enjoy its exceptional taste for longer.

Hand-Selected Cuts: We select the finest cuts from the pig’s jowl, known for its high level of fat. This careful selection guarantees a superior product that stands out in both taste and texture.

Thick Sliced: Each slice of our guanciale is thick, providing an even cook and consistent flavour in every bite. The slices are perfect for adding to a variety of dishes or enjoying on their own.

Cooking Tips and Uses

Pasta Perfection: Smoked guanciale is a key ingredient in authentic Italian pasta dishes like Carbonara and Amatriciana.

Irresistible Appetisers: Wrap slices of guanciale around dates or figs and bake until crispy for a mouth-watering appetiser that’s sure to impress your guests.

Breakfast Upgrade: Swap your regular bacon for our smoked guanciale in your next fry-up. The unique flavour profile will bring a new dimension to your breakfast favourites.

Gourmet Pizzas: Add slices of guanciale to your homemade pizzas for a gourmet touch. It pairs beautifully with a variety of toppings, from simple Margheritas to more elaborate creations.
