The Quick Facts on Pancetta

  • Locally sourced pork belly
  • Avg. 3 lbs per piece
  • Ingredients: hand-rubbed in cure (salt, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, spice & spice extracts, sodium nitrite), garlic and natural smoke

Pancetta, or Italian bacon as it is commonly known in North America, is a staple in a variety of Italian dishes. Cut from fresh, locally sourced pork belly, Butcher Shoppe pancetta is hand-rubbed in salt, pepper, and spices before going through the curing process. It’s salty and smooth, never overbearing in flavor, and comes in three-pound increments cut to order.  

Goes Great In...

Salads, sauces, soups, sandwiches—you name it! There’s a reason pancetta is so widely used and adored by Italians home and abroad.

Our Preferred Preparation for Butcher Shoppe Pancetta

Add diced pancetta to your favorite slow-cook minestrone recipe. This will melt into the broth with the heat, helping to release that smooth, salty flavor that pancetta is known for.

    How it Ships...
