Produced in Piacenza, the Guanciale, also known as Gola, is a seasoned cured meat from ancient Emilian peasant traditions. The seasoned throat comes directly from an anatomical incision near the pig's cheek, i.e. the part between the shoulder and the bottom of the head. The salami is covered with a black pepper crust with a light manual massage, which protects the salami during the long seasoning and makes its taste more aromatic and intense.
