Guanciale is the cheek of the pig, a meat composed of lean veins and a more valuable fat than that which characterizes other cuts of the pig. Native to central Italy, its strong and enveloping flavor is making it
increasingly a protagonist of Italian cuisine at all latitudes.
Il Mangiarbene’s Guanciale is characterized by balance and harmony, with a slice featuring the right fat-to-fat ratio, a well-marbled lean and a slightly pinkish fat.
The spicy aroma reminiscent of noble molds is well balanced with roundness on the palate and an uncommonly melt-in-your-mouth texture.
