This is a traditional Italian-style specialty that, because of its uique flavor, has become increasingly popular in many of today's culinary circles. Pancetta is made from the same cut of pork as bacon, except that there are important differences in the way it's prepared - and enjoyed. To produce its Pancetta, Citterio carefully selects only the highest quality cuts that are exceptionally and consistently lean. These are cured with salt and select spices, then tightly rolled into the shape of a large Salame. These forms are dry-cured and aged naturally to createthe characteristic flavor of Pancetta. Unlike bacon, no water is added to our Pancetta, nor is it smoked. Because of its dry-cured aging and because it requires little cooking time, the yield (and flavor too!) of Pancetta Citterio is much greater than that of bacon. The distinctive flavor of Pancetta is the key to an authentic Pasta Carbonara. It is used by many chefs as a flavoring in other Italian sauces, in soups or salads, on vegetables, in quiche or omelets, even on pizza. It's ideal when layered on roasts or poultry.
