A whole rare-breed pork jowl supplied fresh and uncured, with the glands trimmed off. Selected from the larger jowls and particularly suited to home-curing as guanciale or jowl bacon, as well as long, slow cooking.
£10.50
Pork jowl is the whole cheek and lower jaw area of the pig, containing both rich meat and a substantial covering of fat. This product is supplied as a whole fresh jowl weighing approximately 1.2–1.5kg, with the glands trimmed off.
This is the whole jowl. Grid Iron’s Oyster Cut Pork Cheeks are different: they are the individual meat muscle taken from within the jowl and sold separately for cooking. Choose the whole jowl when you want the full cut for curing or slow cooking.
Guanciale is a cured and air-dried product made from pork jowl. This product is supplied fresh and uncured, giving you the starting cut if you want to cure your own guanciale or jowl bacon at home.
The combination of meat and fat also makes whole pork jowl well suited to slow braising and other long-cooked dishes.
