Simonini Salumi Diced Guanciale 200g

Product Description

The ultimate shortcut to an authentic Roman pasta masterclass.

Simonini Salumi takes the prep work out of your favorite Roman recipes with this Diced Guanciale. Sourced from the finest Italian pork cheek, this guanciale is expertly cured and pre-cut into perfect batons, ready to be tossed straight into the pan.

Unlike pancetta, guanciale is prized for its high percentage of noble fat, which carries a much deeper, more complex flavor. When rendered down, the fat turns into a silky, golden liquid that is essential for emulsifying with Pecorino Romano and egg to create a glossy, world-class Carbonara or a robust Amatriciana. Each piece features a balance of tender meat and melting fat, seasoned with the traditional coating of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

• Ready-to-Cook Convenience: Pre-diced into the ideal size for even rendering and crispy edges.

• Authentic Flavor Profile: Provides the characteristic "funky," savory depth that only aged pork cheek can offer.

• Superior Rendering: High fat content ensures a luxurious sauce base without the need for added oils.

• Simonini Quality: Produced by a family with generations of expertise in the art of Italian salumi.

Weight: 200g

Cooking Tip: Start the guanciale in a cold pan over medium-low heat. This allows the fat to render out slowly, ensuring the pieces become golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender within.
