Review: Finally! an authentic Italian Guanciale with the "right" spices and taste! - I don't usually write reviews, but I'll do an exception for this one. As a Roman when I cook I take the ingredients for all my Roman dishes very seriously. Contrary to Pancetta, Guanciale is kind of hard to find, Italian deli's carry other Italian brands however is not even closed to what a good Guanciale supposed to taste and it's incredibly expensive, $15-$20 for a tiny little piece. I understand $90 it's a a lot of money for some guanciale, but you can pay the same for about 2lb of the crappy one. I did the fresh/Uncooked test and this one is as close as it gets, immediately brought me back in Rome that's what it actually supposed taste, has all the "right" spices and aged well. On top of that I got a HUGE 2Kg one, about 4.4lb instead of the estimated 3.5lb. So Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and, if you like authentic roman cuisine or just Italian food, I totally recommend it.
Review: High quality product. A must have for real carbonara. - Third time I have purchased this product. Great for carbonara.

Third time I have purchased this product. Great for carbonara.

### ⭐ Do not buy Guanciale from Alma based upon my experience.
*by D***T on February 5, 2026*

I have been ordering quanciale from Amazon for years. Lucini was the main source. I was always very happy. A really great cut with all the bits and pieces necessary to make a great pasta. This brand is awful. Way too much fat. Barely any meat. I would never purchase this brand again. One would think that if it came from Italy, it would be great. Not the case here.
