2 hrs confidence:
non-rolled/unrolled/flat pancetta Explanation: After it has been cured, pancetta can either be rolled up and bound with butcher's twine before it is hung up to mature, or left to mature unrolled. The differences between bacon and pancetta have to do mainly with the age of the pigs at slaughter and the cuts of meat used. There are also any number of local variables such as the ingredients in the curing mixture ("concia" in Italian), the duration of the maturing process and the maturing environment. I notice that some sites use "plain" to distinguish unrolled pancetta from rolled. This probably isn't a great idea as "plain" suggests "unsmoked" to many English speakers. Buine purcitade! |
