TEMPESTA Guanciale Uncured Jowel, 1 LB

I don’t know what others are saying but it is amazing. I just tasked delivery to put it in the shade when it’s warmer outside. It really elevates the pasta.

Hello,After watching a cooking program who used this brand for a pasta, we ordered this guanciale. We were super excited to try it and followed the recipe exactly. As we prepared the meat by cutting it into very small cubes and started cooking it, the smell was rancid. We thought maybe because it was a high fat content it would be stronger however, when we tasted this it was terrible. It ruined our dish and was not edible.We only used about 1/3 of one of the jowels. It was well within it sell by and use by date. it was terrible. I will never buy this brand again.

great

Tasty. Some very chewy parts. Best to cut very thin.

Read the title man what did I say. Yum yum guanciale.

Not what I expected. The outside color is almost yellow and moist and the inside is deep red and dry. As taste goes, it’s very smoky and salty. Almost too smoky and too salty. When making spaghetti carbonara, you need to expect the heavy smoke and a tougher drier texture than regular cured Guanciale. It’s not the flavor you want for a traditional carbonara.

One of my friends who is married to a professional chef told me about this product and this particular brand. It is absolutely delicious and I will be ordering again.

I purchsed this product for $45. It looks absolutely different from the picture. This is only onepiece 1/2 inch thick, when i cut it it smells like an old food yelish colovery veru salty. Its just waste of money, i absolutely dont recomment it. the seller have to post the truth piscure, whatevet is advertised is just a lie.
