دانييل نيو إنجلاند بانشيتا

Diced a few slices into a pot of white beans and the whole kitchen smelled like a proper Italian deli. It crisps up beautifully without burning, and I like that there's no MSG in it.

No nitrates or nitrites added, which is why I switched to this for my carbonara and it still crisps up beautifully in the pan. The savory, salty flavor is exactly what I want without any MSG aftertaste.

The fact that there's no nitrates or MSG added is why I switched to this pancetta, and it crisps up nicely without that weird salty aftertaste I used to get. I've been dicing it into carbonara and it holds up well in the pan.
