Guanciale (or cured pork jowl) from Citarella is handcrafted from pork sourced from American farmers. Cured, seasoned with black pepper and thyme, and carefully aged to perfection, this “Roman bacon” is the building block of the Eternal City’s most delicious pasta preparations—carbonara, gricia, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana. Delicately sauteed in the pan, guanciale adds an exquisitely rich caramelized essence to every dish it touches.
