A traditional Italian staple, pancetta is a delicious alternative to bacon. Maestri’s Pancetta Strips are made in Italy from rich, fatty pork belly infused with sea salt, spices, and a touch of smoke. Once it’s cured to perfection, the pancetta makes its way to the United States where it’s cut down into easy-to-use strips. They’re ready to be rendered until satisfyingly crisp and added to a frittata with Pecorino Romano or folded into pasta with Rustico® Black Pepper.

“These pancetta strips make brunch so easy! They add so much depth of flavor to a frittata with dollops of Murray’s Mascarpone and shredded Fontina Val d’Aosta."

Maestri crafts this pancetta in Italy but dices and packages it in the United States, ensuring the final product is both traditionally made and incredibly fresh.
Pancetta and bacon have similar textures and flavors as they’re both made from pork belly. But pancetta is more delicate and slightly less smoky than bacon.
This pancetta is not smoked but does have natural smoke flavor for a bit of savory depth.
A traditional Italian staple, pancetta is often used in pasta, egg dishes, and pizza.
