About Panchetta

Pancetta is a traditional Italian cured meat made from pork belly that is seasoned with salt, spices, and herbs, then rolled and dry-aged. Unlike American bacon, pancetta is not smoked, giving it a milder, rich flavor that is widely used in Italian cuisine, particularly in pastas, soups, and risottos. Pancetta is high in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like zinc and B vitamins, but it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which may not be suitable for individuals on heart-healthy or low-sodium diets. Moderation is key when enjoying pancetta, as its indulgent flavor enhances dishes without requiring large amounts. For a healthier preparation, pair pancetta with fresh vegetables, whole grains, or use it sparingly as a garnish to add depth and complexity to meals.
