I’m a bit confused by this as there aren’t clear recommendations. Some say use within 2 weeks. I have two guanciale that were vacuum packed on July 1st and have been stored in a cold area of my fridge.
I’m not quite sure why it even needs to be refrigerated as it’s a cured product. I assume because it’s been cut right?
I bought a lot of this as it’s my favorite brand and easily one of the best you can get in the US. But it’ll be another 3-4 weeks before I even get to this guanciale because I’m going on vacation.
Should I bother freezing it? I don’t want to alter its texture in any way, but I also do not want to waste that as it is one of gods gifts to mankind.
