Our pancetta is made from larger female Western Plains pigs that have been grown specifically for Salt Kitchen to make charcuterie. This collaboration is really where the Western Plains/Salt Kitchen relationship began. We recognised that we needed a unique raw product to create Salumi & Charcuterie that is comparable to what we see coming from Europe. The size of the pig and the way they are grown at the farm means we achieve the balance of fat and meat in the belly to make incredible Flat Pancetta. The loins we use from younger pigs are soft sweet and juicy but have little to no fat so pancetta is the perfect addition to make these loins a real treat.
