My first go at Guanciale, how does it look? Salt cured for a week and been sitting in a wire tray in the fridge for about 3 months

    Genuine curiosity, whats the cause of the redness (to anyone who knows)? Is that an indicator that it should have cured longer or just the difference between fresh homemade and potentially older store-bought jowl?

    Impressive. And you did it at home without any particular equipment? I didn’t even know we could do that lol

    Nice! Care to share the process? Looks great

  4. Looks good to me. I’ve been struggling to find it locally (East mids) so have been reading up about how to make it myself as my local butcher supplies pork jowls. Guide I read said fridge for first week only but you kept it in there for entire time?

    That’s exactly how I got started. Check out the /r/charcuterie sub sometime.
