Description
Known in Sicilian dialect as “Bucculàru”, Guanciale Nostrano dei Nebrodi is a premium artisanal cured meat produced by Punto Carni in Villafranca Tirrena, Sicily. Crafted from the pork jowl and cheek of carefully selected Sicilian pigs from the Madonie area, this traditional delicacy offers an authentic and unmistakable flavour rooted in Sicilian heritage.
Traditional Butchery Craftsmanship & Authentic Sicilian Flavour
Punto Carni, the historic butcher shop of the Arrigo family, follows the ancient Italian norcina tradition, combining artisanal methods with a deep respect for local sourcing and quality.
- 100% Sicilian Origin: Produced exclusively using pork sourced from Sicilian farms in the Madonie region, with full traceability guaranteed by the Carni di Sicilia consortium.
- Naturally Seasoned: The meat is naturally cured and delicately flavoured with wine vinegar, black pepper, and sea salt, creating a rich aroma and a bold yet perfectly balanced taste — savoury without being overly salty.
- Appearance & Texture: Guanciale Nostrano features its characteristic pear-like shape and natural rind. Its perfect balance of lean meat and fat makes it ideal both for slicing and for cooking, releasing an intense and fragrant flavour when heated.
