When you think of true Italian cuisine, it's hard not to think of the rich tradition and authentic flavors that can only be found in the heart of Italy. Our Guanciale Riserva is a perfect example of this heritage. This exquisite, gluten-free and lactose-free product is the star that gives the iconic pasta alla carbonara its distinctive flavor.

Note: The pieces are unique due to both the craftsmanship and the cutting operation, making it impossible to ensure a uniform weight. For this reason, and due to possible weight loss, a weight tolerance of +/- 30 g. is to be expected.
