Pancetta -パンチェッタ-
While no recorded history appears to exist on the origins of pancetta, there are shipping records from as early as the 15th century that note the purchase of cured meats for long voyages. Most likely, cured meats were developed for just such a purpose. Italy`s most well known pancette are the Piacentina D.O.P. from Emilia-Romagna and the Calabrese D.O.P., although very good pancette are made in many other regions as well.
Pancetta is dry salted, cured pork belly. There are two basic forms of pancetta: pancetta stesa, flat shaped, and arrotolata, a rolled version. Variations of these two basic forms of pancetta can also be found regionally throughout Italy, each influenced by climate, breed of pig, seasonings and the tradition of local production.
Pancetta can be eaten as it is, thinly sliced, with bread and other salami; but it is also an almost indispensable ingredient in the Italian cuisine. Pancetta is used to add flavor to vegetables and pasta. Roast it with potatoes, Brussels sprouts, squash or radicchio. Add it to any pasta dish for extra flavor. Mince it into stuffings, or fry it crisp and sprinkle over soups.
