Coolanowle Smoked Bacon Cheek is sourced from organically raised pigs. Also known as Guanciale, this cut of organic meat is celebrated for its rich, robust flavour and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

The bacon cheek is traditionally cured and gently wood-smoked, infusing it with a unique aroma that tantalizes the palate. Enjoy it sliced thick or thin, pan-fried until crisp on the exterior while remaining succulent inside.
