Sweet, Hot, & Luscious...

Sounds like...a...well..a...nevermind. Wrong context. This is just an initial snapshot of a crosscut of our latest slab of pancetta just harvested from the depths of the dungeon. We have been chomping at the bit to tap into it, but patience has taught us that we must be just that. After an unfortunate mishap of lack of air flow, humidity, and salt penetration, which is bound to happen as any chef who has ventured into the art of salumi making will tell you, we have held our breath and bit our tongues and waited until it became ready. Sweeeeet! Nice, soft, luscious, silky, meaty, slight pepper influence, full bodied sweet pork essence and welcomed mustiness! Already made it into the day's carbonara...I love my job!
