Guanciale - No Nitrate (Cheek Bacon)

1 review

We've been raising pigs for over a decade. Our very first butcher day, we went out on a limb and cured the jowls to bacon. The result was the most delicious, lip-smacking bacon we've ever had. Ever since then, we've been making Guanciale, the Italian term for cheek bacon with our simple bacon recipe - only the cut is different. No nitrates, just Himalayan salt, organic brown sugar and pepper. Perfect for carbonara, or any other recipe that calls for bacon or pancetta - really, any meal - fry it up with eggs and you won't be disappointed.

 

    1. Himalayan Sea Salt
    2. Organic Raw Sugar
    1. BLT (or GLT, as we call it)
    2. In carbonara
