Pancetta, Savoie Traditional – Maison Baud (Sliced)

This traditional Savoyard pancetta is pure pork belly perfection. Each slice is rich, fatty, and savoury , with a firm, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Spiced with black pepper, nutmeg, and local herbs, it delivers an earthy, slightly sweet finish that coats the tongue beautifully. No smoking—just pure cured pork character.

Maison Baud crafts this pancetta from free-range pork, rubbing the belly with salt and alpine spices. After a gentle air-drying in cool mountain cellars, it develops a rosy-red colour and delicate marbling. A humble, honest charcuterie that celebrates Savoie’s farming roots and patient curing traditions.

Wrap around warm breadsticks or grilled asparagus. Pair with a light Gamay or crisp pilsner. Fry until crisp and crumble over pasta carbonara or roasted Brussels sprouts. For a simple board, serve alongside cornichons, dried figs, and a nutty Tomme de Savoie. Best at room temperature.
