Guanciale Bacon (Smoked Jowl) - Sliced

Our pasture-raised heritage breed guanciale is a traditional Italian-style cured pork jowl crafted for exceptional flavor and authentic culinary experience. Sourced from slow-growing heritage pigs raised on open pasture using regenerative farming practices, this specialty cut reflects a commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and humane animal stewardship.

Raised on a corn-free and soy-free diet, our pigs produce richly marbled meat with deep, clean flavor. Carefully hand-trimmed and traditionally cured without synthetic nitrates or nitrites, this guanciale develops its signature silky texture and bold, savory character.

To cook, simply slice or dice and render slowly in a skillet over medium-low heat until the fat melts and the edges become golden and crisp — no added oil needed. Perfect for carbonara, amatriciana, or adding rich depth to vegetables and pastas, this is true artisan guanciale — ethically raised, deeply flavorful, and rooted in time-honored tradition.  Alternatively, pan fry whole slices at a low temp until they are golden brown.  The bacon will get crispy as it cools.
