Our Ibérico Guanciale is a cured meat product made from the pork jowl of Iberian black pigs. The name derives from the Spanish word 'papada' or Italian 'guancia', meaning cheek. This product is characterized by its firm and compact consistency, with shades ranging from pinkish white to yellowish white and red meat. The texture is soft, yet intense in taste and smell. The Guanciale is prepared from the subcutaneous tissue obtained from the neck and lower neck muscles of adult pigs that have been fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera seasons. The jowl is rubbed only with sea salt and naturally cured for over 8 months. Ibérico charcuterie is a delicacy that can only come from pigs of the Iberian breed, renowned for their exceptional qualities, including the ability to accumulate high levels of healthy fats. Enjoy the rich, savory flavor of our Guanciale Ibérico de Bellota.
