Guanciale is a traditional Italian cured meat made from pork cheek or jowl. Rich in flavor and wonderfully fatty, it’s a key ingredient in classic dishes like pasta all'amatriciana and carbonara. Originating from central Italy, guanciale is seasoned with spices and aged to develop its unique taste. While it offers a decadent umami punch, it’s also high in fat and sodium, so enjoy it in moderation. Perfect for adding depth to your favorite recipes, guanciale is a delicious journey into Italian culinary heritage.
