Does this need to be kept refrigerated?

I did keep it refrigerated because I did not use all of it in my recipe and we were at our cottage up north which did not have air conditioning.

Does this Guanciale need to be trimmed?

I trim the skin off due to its toughness but if you like hard chewy you can leave it on.

is this shipped refrigerated? I'm in LA.

It is shipped with a cold pack. Though it doesn’t really need to be.

How does this item ship so as to ensure quality and safety of product?

Hello, thanks for the question, it is sent in an insulated envelope with some pieces of dry ice pack and with a short-term postal service, between 1 and 2 days.
