Pancetta
Pancetta needs a form-specific choice: fresh pancetta appears in ragù, while rolled pancetta is also sold in thin slices.
- In ragù
- Fresh pancetta
- Producer example
- Rolled, thinly sliced pancetta
At the table
The Academy’s ragù uses fresh pancetta separately from the ground meat. Citterio’s rolled pancetta comes in thin, ready-cut slices: a different form for a different preparation.
Check which form the recipe calls for before buying, keeping pancetta distinct from plain pork mince.
