Pancetta (Italian pronunciation: [panˈt͡ʃetːa]) is Italian bacon made of pork belly meat that is salt cured and spiced with black pepper and sometimes other spices.

Uses

For cooking, it is often cut into cubes. It is also served as a cold cut, sliced thin.

Types

The two basic types of pancetta are the arrotolata (rolled) and stesa (flat). The arrotolata, salted, is mainly cut in thin slices and eaten as part of antipasti or simply as component of a sandwich; the stesa is often used chopped as ingredient in many recipes, or cut in thick stripes, that are usually eaten grilled. There's also a version of arrotolata, where capicola is added in the center of the roll (pancetta coppata).

The rolled type is typical of northern Italy,[1] while the flat type is typical of the center and south.[2]
