So, what is panceta?

Panceta is a flavorful and savory ingredient that adds depth and richness to many dishes. This Italian-style bacon is made from pork belly that is cured with salt, sugar, and spices before being air-dried or smoked. The result is a meaty and fatty cut that has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor with a crisp texture when cooked. Panceta is versatile and can be used in a variety of cuisines, from adding a smoky note to pasta sauces, to being the star of a classic BLT sandwich. Its intense flavor profile makes it a popular choice among chefs and home cooks looking to add a burst of umami to their cooking.
