Leoncini Pancetta is made from fresh pork bellies. The product is seasoned and is then cooked and smoked. The smoking process is done in the traditional way by exposing the cooked product to smoke which is obtained from burning wood chips (usually beech) and aromatic plants. The cut is rose-colored with white streaking of fat and has a pleasant lightly smoked scent. This product is ready to eat and can be sliced thick or thin depending on its usage and personal taste.
