HOW TO ENJOY IT BEST
Although the most famous match is the Smoked Bacon and Eggs combo, this is not the only one that can enhance the taste of this exquisite cold cut. In fact, Smoked Bacon is perfect as an appetiser served on its own or with honey, nuts and cheese. Its flavour makes it also excellent to savour stir-fries, first courses or stuffing meat rolls. Smoked Pancetta goes also perfectly with certain types of vegetables for example to make Bacon-wrapped asparagus or puree soups with Crispy Bacon.

PROCESSING STEPS
The production of Smoked Pancetta consists of three main stages:
- Salting: in this phase, selected cuts of pork are sprinkled with a mixture of salt, spices and herbs;
- Resting: Bacon is left to rest in order to fully absorb the spices. During this phase, it is massaged by hand every day for about ten days so that the spices are spread evenly
- Drying: this step lasts about 3-4 days and allows Smoked Pancetta to lose the water in excess.
CURIOSITIES
Italian Smoked Pancetta Bacon is referred to just as Bacon in English, but there might be some minor differences:
- The English Bacon processing procedure is slightly different from the Italian one due to different historical and gastronomic traditions;
- English Bacon must only be eaten after cooking, whereas Italian Smoked Pancetta can also be enjoyed raw;
- English Bacon can be prepared with different cuts of pork and while Italian Pancetta is made only out of belly meat.
