He's ready for the purists who will complain that the cured meat in a new pasta amatriciana really ought to be guanciale, made from pork jowls, rather than pancetta, pork belly. "You know what? Most of our people do not care," Overton says.

PANCETTA TESA STAGIONATA
FLAT CURED PORK BELLY

Rigamonti's "pancetta" is exclusively obtained from lean raw materials and processed according to the traditional local techniques of Valtellina: it is cured at least for four weeks and it is available both sweet and smoked.

PANCETTA - PORK BELLY

http://www.grasselli.com/en/prodotti/dettaglio.asp?id_prodot...

Pork belly (pancetta) is roughly the same cut of streaky bacon - but better, eh. Smoked (affumicata) pancetta is usually traded in slabs with its rind on; the unsmoked variety is rolled up instead (the light brown cylinders in the picture). I tried a special pancetta: boiled in Barolo wine before being rolled up with salt and spices and cured. Delicious does not even begin to describe it. Speck is a variety of pancetta affumicata typical of the Trentino region: it is more deeply smoked, and its top side covered with a mixture of salt and spices based on crushed peppercorns, giving it a strong, smoky and spicy taste.

Pork is preserved as ham, salame and sausages, the most renown which qualify for DOP are: Capocollo (neck roll), Pancetta (pork belly), Salsiccia (sausage) and Soppressata (a type of salame).
