Guanciale Matured Pork Cheek (≈1kg) gourmet ham scrambled eggs or buttered popcornThe Roman pasta secret: cured pork jowl, dry aged with black pepper. The only authentic fat for carbonara, amatriciana and gricia. Guanciale is cured pork jowl, the cut from the cheek of the pig. Dry aged with salt, black pepper and a gentle herb rub for several weeks, it develops a deep, almost honeyed character that pancetta and bacon cannot match. It is the foundation of three of Rome's classic pasta dishes: carbonara, amatriciana and gricia.
