A traditional Italian staple, pancetta is a delicious alternative to bacon. Maestri’s Pancetta Strips are made in Italy from rich, fatty pork belly infused with sea salt, spices, and a touch of smoke. Once it’s cured to perfection, the pancetta makes its way to the United States where it’s cut down into easy-to-use strips. They’re ready to be rendered until satisfyingly crisp and added to a frittata with Pecorino Romano or folded into pasta with Rustico® Black Pepper.
“These pancetta strips make brunch so easy! They add so much depth of flavor to a frittata with dollops of Murray’s Mascarpone and shredded Fontina Val d’Aosta."
Pork Belly, Salt, Smoke Flavorings, Spices, Sodium Ascorbate, Natural Flavorings, Sodium Nitrite
- Maestri crafts this pancetta in Italy but dices and packages it in the United States, ensuring the final product is both traditionally made and incredibly fresh.
- Pancetta and bacon have similar textures and flavors as they’re both made from pork belly. But pancetta is more delicate and slightly less smoky than bacon.
- This pancetta is not smoked but does have natural smoke flavor for a bit of savory depth.
- A traditional Italian staple, pancetta is often used in pasta, egg dishes, and pizza.
