Guanciale Sampler *INTRODUCTORY OFFER*

$37.00
Limit 1 per order

Limited-time offer ends November 1 !

Our guanciale (cured pork cheek) is preserved using only salt and unrefined sugar for just a touch of sweetness. We spice it lightly so that you can let the luscious porky flavor shine in whatever context you like. You can take your time deciding, too - our guanciale is cured to last. It doesn’t require a fridge or freezer to keep. You can hang it from your ceiling as a bit of functional decor or leave it ready for action on your cutting board.

We suggest a delicious way to put dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes, with simplicity at its finest: Carbonara (pictured).

Alternatively, you can use it in any dish you’d add bacon to. The flavor is very similar, if a bit more delicate.

How it Works

When you purchase a sampler, you are buying a very small share of the pig - just enough to make approximately 2-2.5 lbs of this artisan product from an organic, silvopastured, heritage breed pig in the Village Herd. The Forsyth Homestead has raised this lard pig with love and attention. There are only two shares available, so place your reservation today!
