Viani Guanciale Stagionato

Weight: 250g  Dated - 13/01/2027

Guanciale is dry cured pork jowl, and Roman cooks swear by it for the classic pasta dishes. This guanciale stagionato is made from Italian pork, then seasoned with salt and spices and left to cure slowly. That gives it a deep, savoury flavour and a generous layer of fat, which melts beautifully in the pan.

To use it, cut it into strips or small cubes and cook it gently until the fat turns clear and the edges crisp up. Then toss it through spaghetti carbonara, bucatini all’amatriciana or rigatoni alla gricia. Once you’ve tried these dishes with real guanciale, pancetta just isn’t the same. It’s also lovely in soups, with roast vegetables or wrapped around chicken.
