Guanciale is a traditional Italian cured meat prepared from pork jowl or cheeks. Its name stems from guancia, the Italian word for "cheek". Heavily marbled with a high fat-to-meat ratio, it is rubbed with salt and spices—such as black pepper, thyme, or fennel—and cured for several weeks. When cooked, its premium fat renders down beautifully, yielding a delicate texture and an unmatched velvety depth of flavour.
