Located in: Meats/Seafood, Bacon

Pancetta is a traditional Italian specialty, used in a similar manner to the way we use bacon. Beretta makes a particularly excellent Pancetta from first choice pork belly. Just after production, the Pancetta is carefully salted, then flavored with select spices and tightly rolled. It is then dry-cured under the strictest quality control standards. By combining a time-tested recipe with Beretta's legendary quality, you can be sure that the Pancetta you bring home is the Italian original.

Comments about Pancetta by Beretta:

Fantastic Pancetta. Much better than I can get locally. I am always trying to find new ways to use pancetta in recipes: mac and cheese, risotto, etc. Even used it to jazz up brussel sprouts. The kids liked them! Pancetta is one of the greatest creations on the earth.

Our local grocery store carried Pancetta, but it doesn't compare to this. This has excellent flavor. I used it to make a version of Coq au Vin, it was fabulous.

Comments about Pancetta by Beretta:

Pancetta is great in sandwiches and on platter with other sliced meets. Add a little cracked pepper... I diced up the end pieces in small cubes and made a great spaghetti alla carbonara. Everyone in the family loved it.
However, it's difficult to slice as it falls a part toward the end. May be a bigger piece next time will solve the problem.

Great flavor!
