Italian Pork Cheeck bacon “Goletta”, seasoned and vacuum-packed cured meat

This particuar “Guanciale Piacentino” is also called “Gola” or “Goletta”, it is a  big (1Kg average weitght)  piece of italian pork cheek cured meat, coming from ancient Emilian peasant traditions.

It comes directly from an anatomical cut near the pig’s cheek, i.e. the part between the shoulder and the bottom of the head.

Only certified raw materials are used, coming from pigs of Italian farms.

After dry salting, they mature for 120-180 days

The vacuum-packed big italian pork cheek, when cut, has a light red and pink color. With a very sweet and delicate flavor and a slightly spicy aroma, it can be consumed in many ways.

Slice it with a knife and enjoy it as it is, or use it in the kitchen, to enrich your sauces or soups.

The Piacenza tradition suggests tasting it on toasted bread or on a crunchy slice of polenta.
