Texas Iberico® Guanciale is a handcrafted delicacy made from pork jowl, seasoned with warm, complex spices and cured for two months to achieve its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The marbling of the Iberico breed gives this guanciale a deep, savory richness, perfect for adding a luxurious flavor to classic pasta dishes, like carbonara or amatriciana, or enjoyed as a crispy, flavorful addition to any recipe.
Texas Iberico® pigs are raised in the Texas Hill Country, where they roam freely for over 18 months—three times longer than commercial pigs. During this time, they feast on wild delicacies like mesquite beans, acorns and prickly pear. This extended outdoor lifestyle contributes to the exceptionally rich flavor of their chorizo.
