Traditional Italian dry-cured pork jowl, aged with salt and black pepper for rich flavor, silky texture, and authentic Roman character. HOW TO COOK Cook slowly in a dry pan until crispy outside and tender inside. Perfect for Carbonara, Amatriciana, pasta, and risotto. HOW TO KEEP IT FRESH Keep refrigerated after opening and wrap tightly to preserve flavor and texture. Can also be frozen if needed. GUANCIALE VS PANCETTA Guanciale and pancetta are both traditional Italian cured meats, but they come from different cuts of pork. Pancetta is made from pork belly, while guanciale comes from the pork cheek. Guanciale has richer marbling, a deeper savory flavor, and a firmer texture due to its longer aging process. It is the traditional ingredient used in classic Roman dishes like Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Gricia. Review: Finally! an authentic Italian Guanciale with the "right" spices and taste! - I don't usually write reviews, but I'll do an exception for this one. As a Roman when I cook I take the ingredients for all my Roman dishes very seriously. Contrary to Pancetta, Guanciale is kind of hard to find, Italian deli's carry other Italian brands however is not even closed to what a good Guanciale supposed to taste and it's incredibly expensive, $15-$20 for a tiny little piece. I understand $90 it's a a lot of money for some guanciale, but you can pay the same for about 2lb of the crappy one. I did the fresh/Uncooked test and this one is as close as it gets, immediately brought me back in Rome that's what it actually supposed taste, has all the "right" spices and aged well. On top of that I got a HUGE 2Kg one, about 4.4lb instead of the estimated 3.5lb. So Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and, if you like authentic roman cuisine or just Italian food, I totally recommend it. Review: High quality product. A must have for real carbonara. - Third time I have purchased this product.

A must have for real carbonara. *by D***. on November 16, 2025* Third time I have purchased this product. Great for carbonara. ### ⭐ Do not buy Guanciale from Alma based upon my experience. *by D***T on February 5, 2026* I have been ordering quanciale from Amazon for years. Lucini was the main source. I was always very happy. A really great cut with all the bits and pieces necessary to make a great pasta. This brand is awful. Way too much fat. Barely any meat. I would never purchase this brand again. One would think that if it came from Italy, it would be great. Not the case here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alma Gourmet Guanciale From Italy - Italian Dry-Cured Pork Jowl Imported - La Salameria - 3.3lb (1.5kg) - Pecorino Romano Italian Cheese D.O.P. by Alma Gourmet - 4.5lb to 5lb Approx. - Parmesan Cheese Block 2 lb (approx.), Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Top Grade-Italian Cheese DOP, 24 Months Aged, Latteria Soresina, Imported from Italy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/504799886-alma-gourmet-guanciale-from-italy-italian-dry-cured-pork-jowl](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/504799886-alma-gourmet-guanciale-from-italy-italian-dry-cured-pork-jowl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
