TEMPESTA GUANCIALE 5/0.75LB AVG

Guanciale is derived from the word guancia, Italian for cheek. The pig jowl is packed in salt, wine, and spices and left to cure until it has reduced in weight by roughly 30%. This particular guanciale is produced in Chicago by true artisans. The peppery salumi is perfect for use in place of bacon or pancetta to add a rich and complex flavor to soups, pasta sauces, and a variety of other authentic Italian dishes.
