And has a distinctly pork flavour, lovely smokiness with a subtle salty taste. Making it ideal for cooking because it adds additional depth of flavour and a hint of salt to all your pasta dishes, soups and stews. Cut the block into slices or dice into small cubes and use in a similar way to bacon. We love it with asparagus and highly recommend using it to make Pancetta And Mushroom Risotto.
