Locally made guanciale?

Americas - USA West Los Angeles

My friends are looking for locally-made guanciale for some cooking experiment. Is anyone still making guanciale in this pandemic world?

Thanks!

I know Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica sells some but I don’t know & doubt that it’s local. It’s is however very very good. I’ve used it often.

At Eataly the other day I saw Tempesta (Chicago) guanciale, as well as two or three imported ones, maybe one other domestic.

Not locally made, but imported is guaranteed to be true to type:

We got some great guanciale at Italia recently when we went to check out Furn Sag in Northridge of all places!

Great products from Alle Pia up in Central Coast. You can also see their products in various retailers around the city, including Eataly.

I think that place is also supposed to have really good sandwiches?

That Italian place does have pretty good sandwiches, not as good as The Sandwich at Roma Deli in Pasadena though. However, if I’m looking for a sandwich, I’m going to get something from Furn Saj 9 times out of 10. That place is like crack. Also, the butcher/ BBQ place next door makes some really great dishes as well.
