8 reviews for TEMPESTA Guanciale Uncured Jowel, 1 LB
I don’t know why Amazon wants to know the “warmth” of our guanciale. It arrived cool and kept for a month in the refrigerator as we worked through the meat. Expensive, but added nice flavor to several pasta sauces.
Is better than average but does not taste like the one I buy in Italy
Tasted great, but did sort of have a particular flavor that tasted a little on the processed side, other than that I would’ve given it 5 stars.
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.
I use it for my signature carbonara…. This really came through.
It’s really off the hook. Probably mostly because of me lol.
I have bought this twice and both times I was disappointed in the overall product. Don’t get me wrong: if you need guanciale and the alternative is some fake roll from the deli, this is definitely guanciale. But the pieces are nowhere as meaty/thick as shown in the pictures, and the overall product has a MUCH lower smoke point than I’m used to buying guanciale in Rome. Won’t comment on the price: ridiculously expensive, but guanciale is HARD to get here, so it’s not an unfair price for the rarity and difficulty of finding it. The first batch I received had a bunch of herbs still sticking to it which had to be cleaned off before frying; the second batch was ‘cleaner.’ I don’t know what it is about these pigs compared to the ones who give their cheeks in Norcia for the cause of Carbonara, but it’s just not nearly as nice as it could be. If it’s your only option, I’d go for it, but I am going to hunt for other suppliers and see if I can get a better product. Unfortunately, it’s illegal to import this yourself (uninspected meat product) from Italy, so you have to find a domestic supplier who either has jumped through the inspection hoops or who is making it in North America.
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.
We recently returned from Italy and Rigatoni Greci was one of our favorite pasta dishes. I tried to recreate the recipe but unable to do so with pancetta. Guanciale is no where to be found in West Palm Florida, so I ordered this thru Amazon.
The Guanciale arrived on time and intact. What a difference in the recipe – I highly recommend this product and provider.
