Rich, Silky
Watch your fat back, bacon! There's another cheeky slice making the scene whose sole, plump purpose in your kitchen is to turn sow's ears into silky, succulent purses. Originally a delicacy in Umbria, La Quercia's Iowa-bred meat is simply seasoned with rosemary, black and white pepper, and sea salt. It's a traditional staple that you'll want to keep on hand once you've tried it. Depending on how you're using guanciale, you may want it sliced thinly or whole to cut into chunks. With that in mind, we'll ship you a 1/2 pound piece whole that you can slice at home with a sharp chef's knife or cut into chunks. Since it's so rich, it pairs well with big red wines that can stand up to the flavors it deepens. It's best used in cooking, particularly traditional Italian favorites like spaghetti alla carbonara and pasta all'amatriciana, and adds an extra-luxurious texture to sauces and stews.
Lean, Flavorful, Rich, Moist
Most Bison ranchers are also noted as being environmental stewards – sustainable farming being of paramount importance to them. As a result, eating Bison has become another way for people to “go green.” It is becoming a frequent substitute for beef at the dinner table and at fine restaurants. “It seems Bison has the ability to put on its jeans and be as casual as a burger at the corner pub," reports Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association (NBA), "and it also can be served at black tie affairs at very high end restaurants and diplomatic dinner parties.”
