How to choose
Choose guanciale with a uniform pink‑red colour, no dry patches, and a pleasant, slightly sweet pork aroma; the meat should feel firm yet slightly springy to the touch.
How to store
Wrap the guanciale in parchment or butcher’s paper and keep it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for 2–3 weeks; for longer storage, freeze it for up to three months.
