How Pancetta (Italian-style bacon) is Made in Italy | Flat and Rolled | Claudia Romeo

In Italy, pancetta can be flat or rolled. These two types of the famous cold cut come from the same cut of meat and are seasoned with the same spices, but they taste very different because of their shape. I visited Salumi Cervellera in Martina Franca, Puglia, Italy to see how the two types of pancetta are made and taste them to see how they differ.

The quality of production of this video is really good. So professional

[@claudia-romeo]

Thank you! I’ve shot and edited this all myself so that means a lot

[@ozzjonez7500]

Cut out the middle man! I love it! 🎉

[@oldkingcrow777]

​@@ozzjonez7500 exactly. I'd only ever to care to do it if I felt like I was bringing more to the table than I was leaving with, and thdt appears to be the case. I feel like 90% of us were watching those insider videos for Claudia's input on them. She radiates goodness. Only one other guy from those videos brings me the same satisfaction

[@ropro9817]

@@claudia-romeo Love your videos! ❤👏👏👏

[@wiltmarlonelao]

Hi Claudia! I watched all your videos on Insider Food about Regional Eats and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. You were definitely my favorite host there and I’m very glad you decided to continue these. I really hope your channel becomes successful. Instantly subscribed with notifications on!

[@parkdigwig3447]

Happy to see Claudia again showing these fantastic food artists at work!

[@juancontrerasaldunate7037]

love how you engage with the products and the people in your videos, makes it so fun to watch! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@brendawg8002]

This is such a great channel. Informative and authentic, not overdone and cringe like 99% of TV shows. Well done.

[@chokac1]

My family makes Pancetta like this last 150 years, in Dalmatia (Croatia). We call it panceta and we eat it a lot 😂

[@ocendo1]

No you are not.We do not use peper.We use only solt and dry it on windy days and smoke it on rainy days.That is real thing.

[@rossrreyes]

Italian is such a glorious beautiful language 🇮🇹

[@davidh9844]

And it gets better on a cold night with a fire roasted sweet potato, a glass of strong red Italian wine (Amarone suggested), and a few slices of pancetta by the fire. Prove anche tu!

[@The8lackviru5]

Do they also talk over each other and interupt? Lil agro

[@jacksevert3099]

Espanol es mejor

[@thomasdrivas5317]

Many don’t realise this but the reason a lot of people sometimes noticed Italian language sounds so similar to others is because many Latin based languages already sounds similar, but also there are many who claim. There are some phrases that sound like Greek which wouldn’t be further from the truth, as Latin, uses structure and elements like the Greek language

Grande Claudia! No sai come ti vogliamo bene! Un altro video di salumeria italica? Si si, per favore! Qué alegría recibir tu trabajo, por mucho que haya que pagar el tributo de editar los vídeos en lenguas extramediterraneas. Prima di morire una birra con Claudia e anche un bel pezzo di focaccia al pomodoro. Bravo per te!

Great video. It was quite a welcomed surprise to find out that you are producing your one videos now, for your very own channel. I'm looking forward to more of the same witty, well shot, informational and fun gastronomy focused content, with attention to the marvelous artisans behind these products, as you used to produce and star in for another channel... before. Good luck.

I use it as a seasoning, it's very potent when you use it as the only grease in the pan to brown shallots

[@willc7861]

Beautiful preparation😊

[@nole8923]

If there’s one thing Italians know how to do it’s cook great food. Italy is the king of great food. The perfect mix of European and Mediterranean influences.

[@analogsamurai9576]

Your videos are awesome. So many Americans have no idea how to eat and end up as dried botox prunes because it's that important and they wish it away. More please!!

[@piotrmotyka1004]

Italian language sounds so melodic, I work in Austria and German language is really hard to pronounce with all these umlaut things. Great work by the way. Thanks.

[@patobrien6364]

Incredible craftsmanship As with all Italian food, it's simple. TASTE is king (or Queen!😂) Grazie mille ❤

[@davidh9844]

I've been home curing pancetta for about 10 years. I've got a great curing recipe, but the discussion here of rolled vs flat pancetta came just in time. Today is 15 days after I brined the meat, I was planning on rolling two, and leaving one flat. I think we will go all flat this time. I've never used pig intestine or the sock, dry aging bags will just have to do. The video did not clarify if the curing spices are removed before rolling, and the meat then re-peppered, or just brushed off and pepper added. Non e molto importante, Signorina Claudia, molto grazie, e auguri dagli Stati Uniti.

[@claudia-romeo]

That's awesome! I'm sure your pancetta is fantastic, just like every homemade product! The spices are brushed off, you can still see most of them when the meat is rolled. Prego!

[@Cchogan]

It dwarfs the little pieces I make at home!

[@oldkingcrow777]

Francesco's face when he "socks" the pancetta roll is so adorable. All focused and then realizes he's on camera showing this off and smiles like a little kid I love this and I'm sure some parts are just like experts trying to explain to us amateurs, but it cracked me up when he spoke of "the intestine is like a film that isolates the meat from the air" then 2 seconds later "now we're gonna pierce the casing 2000 times" 😂😂😂

[@KardEroc]

Hello Claudia, discovered you on Insider Food during the confinements. Didn't know you started your own chanel. Glad to be able to follow your culinary adventures, cheers!

[@simongrushka983]

holy crap that looks delicious! there is nothing better than small pieces of pancetta fried with eggs and onions :)

[@ValerioBettini]

Oh grandissima! Non sapevo avessi un canale tuo, ti seguivo su altri.🔝

[@user-nc5gr8qu1i]

Northern Ontario here, we use pancetta (when we can get it) as a pan fry fat when searing lean moose and venison (deer) meat. The meat is fine, fine grained as well, so when we have a a chance to buy up fatty, salty pork cubes we rush the stores. They also smoke extremely well and yesterday I made a bean soup with them and a smoked ham hock. Italians, you lot know good food and I cheerfully copy you. :D

[@theherd5830]

So delicious a video! I think Andreas seemed to like more than just the Pancetta!

[@AndrewBlacker-wr2ve]

Wow! Great video!

[@ivanpadilla1936]

Pancetta has a long history in Italy and is thought to have originated in the city of Rome. The word pancetta comes from the Latin word for “belly.” Pancetta was traditionally made by curing the pork belly with salt and spices, then rolling it into a cylinder shape. Today, pancetta is still made in the traditional way, but it can also be found in supermarkets pre-sliced and ready to use. No matter how you choose to enjoy pancetta, it is sure to add a delicious flavor to your favorite dish

[@ElChris816]

Where I live there is a traditional Italian meat shop that we frequent. The best part of going there is standing near the meat counter just to experience the aromas. Another great story you've captured.

[@claudia-romeo]

Thank you!

[@robertspenceryancey]

Great documentary

[@kimvergilsanchez2246]

From Business Insider then here . Glad I found you!

I loved the video and when I hit the like it went to 3K so that was fun as well. I've always wanted to do that!!! LOL

[@tony8074]

How Pancetta is made? Deliciously. I love recipes where Pancetta is the first ingredient.
