Dishes mentioned
Guanciale di Maiale Nero Casertano
This guanciale is transparent, beautiful, and the fat is incredibly fragrant. It has a very delicate flavor, and you can really taste the typical flavor of Casertano black pig, plus the acorn. When you put it in your mouth it explodes — boom. Delicious.
Porchetta
This porchetta is very delicate, unlike the Roman ones that sometimes push a lot on aromas and salt. This one is much more delicate, really good. A delicate taste. I give it a 9 out of 10.
Pancetta di Santa Maria della Carità
This pancetta is aged for a year, weighs about 15-16 kg. It's very delicate, you can taste the pepper and salt but they are not invasive. It's spectacular. At €30 per kilo sliced, it's a great deal.
Pancetta Tre Pepi
This is a younger pancetta, around 6-7 months, with fennel and laurel. It's very good.
Pancetta Pepata
This pancetta is peppered on the outside, aged about 8 months. It's like a Chanel among pancettas.
