Smoked Flat Pancetta | 100g 🥓

Description: Smoked Flat Pancetta is a type of Italian cured pork belly, similar to bacon but not as heavily smoked. It's seasoned with spices and herbs, then slowly cured, giving it a rich, smoky flavor with a slightly sweet, fatty texture. Unlike rolled pancetta, the flat version is easier to slice and cook, making it ideal for frying or adding to pasta dishes, soups, and salads.
