Flavour Analysis

Beneath pancetta’s familiar porky meatiness lies a more intricate layering of animal fat, oleic acid and black pepper. A brine note brings a salty character, with a toast note setting warm aroma alongside it, and char and caramel notes give the profile a rounded, lingering character.
