Guanciale is cured pork jowl, and it’s the secret behind a real carbonara, amatriciana or gricia. Piccolo’s guanciale is made from pork raised without hormones or antibiotics and cured with spices following the family’s century-old recipe. Cut it into strips and render it slowly in the pan until crisp: the fat melts into a rich, savoury base that makes the sauce. Made without added nitrites and gluten-free.

Made in Laval, Quebec, by Les Aliments Piccolo, an Italian family of butchers working from recipes passed down since 1915.
