Pancetta
I’ve looked in my freezer and found quite a bit of bacon and have been getting into my Italian heritage and noticed my supply of pancetta has been depleted. So here comes another experiment:
1. Savory Italian flavors with a second flavor or fennel and orange dust
2. Peppery
3. Calabrian chili pepper and paprika

Re: Pancetta

So this is called pancetta. They are getting their surface dried and then it will be rolled up and tied tightly tomorrow. Sit in my refrigerator in a vertical position for about 45 days after which it will be sliced to about a thick 1 inch strip or 1 inch round technically and each section will be vacuum sealed and put in my refrigerator. Here’s a pic of the finished product. It was the first time I did it.

Re: Pancetta
The last stage is to wrap and tie along with cooking a little to seal the ends. The fat that was cooked down from trimming the ends or lard is used to seal the ends. Now replace in the refrigerator and go for about 30-40 days. The cooked pieces had great flavor and the sweetness of the meat came out. I might sprinkle some more pepper or Calabrian pepper on the spicier ones. At time of vacuum sealing the sections off.

Re: Pancetta
Thank you. That was very nice to hear.
When I made the lard, I was happy with the leftover bacon I cooked up for sure. I really need to find a better twine to use. I thought this one would work but it has a low break point so I’m not happy about it. They have some in the OR I work at now and it is quite a bit thicker. I might have to see how it ties.
