Flavour Profile:

Savoury and Salty: At its core, the Pancetta Tesa boasts a robust savoury taste, enhanced by the curing process with sea salt, which accentuates the meat’s natural flavours, offering a deep and satisfying umami experience.
Subtle Sweetness: The addition of sugar balances the saltiness, bringing out the inherent sweetness of the pork, adding a layer of complexity to its flavour profile.
Herbal and Aromatic: The infusion of herbs like black pepper and juniper berries, along with select spices, lends the Pancetta Tesa a fragrant aroma and a subtle spice, enriching its taste with each bite.
Rich and Fatty: The interplay of fat and spices is where the magic happens. As the pancetta cures, the fat absorbs the aromatic spices, transforming into a flavourful and melt-in-your-mouth experience that is both indulgent and unforgettable.
Mildly Nutty: With ageing, the pancetta develops a mild nuttiness, an additional layer that adds to its complex flavour narrative, making each slice a discovery of taste.
