Fresh Pork Jowl

The fresh pork jowl is an anatomical cut obtained from the cheek and throat of the pig, including part of the musculus masseter, the neck, and the rind. It is characterized by its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, triangular shape, and soft, aromatic texture.
It is a cut rich in fine-quality fat, with evident marbling, used both fresh in cooking and as a base for curing and processing (e.g. cured guanciale, larding, sausages).
Fresh pork jowl is a cut that embodies the tradition of Italian cuisine and artisanal charcuterie. Rich in noble fat and muscular tissue, it is perfect for achieving savory flavor, softness, and aromatic depth—both in cooking and in curing.

Centro Carne guarantees hand-trimmed fresh pork jowls with consistent sizing and certified origin, ready for any type of processing.
