    I used this to cure and dry my own guanciale for the first time. Very happy with results. Happy to provide pictures of finished product but the review system does not allow me.

    to some ppl like me, I like fatty meat, Pork Jowl is a great cut and I am very happy to find it, slow-grill for 2hrs, so juicy good ^^

  5. AdamAitch (verified owner)

    Excellent for curing, but definitely worth doing a quick check for glands as of the eight I bought more than half still had glands in.

  6. Edgar Ernstbrunner (verified owner)

    These Rare Breed Pork Jowls are the perfect ingredient for Jota (Venetian bean / sauerkraut / pork soup), but should equally well work in other Central European pork jowl (“Schweinsbacke”) dishes
    And they’re generously priced, the naturally very fatty cuts still containing a good proportion (about 30%) of meat. Let’s hope for continued availability.

    Great way to buy good quality pork jowls. Bring on the bacon and guanicale…

    Wonderful! and for carbonara cannot be beaten. Good stuff.

  11. Robert Goodwin (verified owner)

    Good size for curing. Just make sure to remove any glands.

  12. Daniel Olivier-Argyle (verified owner)

    I cured this and smoked it for use with pasta. The cheek meat has done a lot of work, so the flavour is quite strong and a little goes a long way. There’s more fat than on this than a commercial pig, so if you cure it and serve with pasta, make sure you cut into small pieces.

    Rare breed, beautifully butchered pork jowls (I am making guanciale) and affordable. Great packaging and speedy delivery (I also ordered a cote de boeuf to make it up to Freepost) It was really fab – a treat and lasted me 2 meals +. I’ll be back!
