Order #7098 Another order with Affetto Italiano, I give 5 stars not only for the quality of the products but also for the carefully packaged product! I recommend the shopping site. Thank you!
Super fast delivery, the packaging was great. With its very own freezer bag and cool bag. Very impressive. I haven’t tried the product yet but I’m sure it will be exactly what I need for my carbonara dishes.

Spot on
Very good quality
Quick delivery delicious product made a brilliant authentic Carbonara
Absolutely delighted. Previously, I’d used pre packed , shop bought Pancetta cubes because that was all I could get. However, I’ve watched that many videos on cooking authentic Carbonara, alla gricia etc , that I felt that I had to try the real thing and I’m so glad I did ! I’d never ordered ‘fresh ‘ food off the internet, so I was a bit wary but I needn’t have worried. The items arrived in an insulated bag, complete with a chiller pack inside, and was perfect. The difference real Guanciale made to the dishes was amazing ! Thanks guys. Will be sure to order again… goodbye pre packed gunk ! Eddie

Lovely guanciale, fast delivery & good price. Thanks
Arrived promptly and well packaged. Exactly what we were looking for
I always have a great experience, easy to order, arrives in good time and the product is always fresh
Absolutely fantastic, made a great carbonara. Haven’t rated the rest of my order as, apart from the pecorino in the carbonara, haven’t tried any other items.
Arrived very fast and it’s delicious
True authentic Italian flavours
We loved the sausages and guanciale Really good quality xxx
Have always wanted to make proper spaghetti carbonara but it was hard to get guanciale. And now i have some so happy
Thank you - well packaged and delivered quickly.
Absolutely delicious, superior quality
Good, not as good as serrano ham but then not as expensive either. I bought some pork with the intention of making some, however the cost of the meat made the enterprise nonviable compared with buying the finished item from Affetto
Loved the texture and flavour

While pancetta is obtained from salt-cured seasoned pork belly, guanciale is produced using seasoned pork cheeks and (sometimes) neck cured for at least three months, which results in a much more intense flavour.
