Made from premium Australian pork, De Palma Guanciale is a traditional Italian-style cured pork jowl prepared using time-honoured methods.

Guanciale is prized for its rich flavour and silky fat content, which renders beautifully when cooked. It delivers deep savoury notes with a delicate balance of seasoning, making it an essential ingredient for classic Italian dishes such as carbonara, amatriciana, and gricia. When gently cooked, the fat melts to create exceptional depth and texture that cannot be replicated with bacon or pancetta.

Naturally gluten-free and cured with care, this guanciale is ideal for pasta dishes, sauces, or finely diced and rendered to add flavour to vegetables and legumes. A staple for cooks who value authenticity and quality ingredients.
