Detailed Information

Made from carefully selected pork jowl, Guanciale is dry-cured with a traditional blend of salt, black pepper, and aromatic spices, then aged to enhance its rich depth of flavor. Compared to pancetta, guanciale has a higher fat content, which melts beautifully when cooked, creating a silky, intensely flavorful base for sauces and dishes.
With its bold, slightly peppery aroma and melt-in-the-mouth texture, this Dok Dall'Ava Guanciale is a staple in traditional Italian cooking, offering a luxurious, umami-packed experience in every bite.
