    What is being used in the video is pork jowl, known as guanciale in Italian (basically cured pork cheek) . It has a high fat content, even compared to pork belly. Fat is flavor, so no convincing from butchers is required. Also, it’s a cheap cut, so if they want to make money off their customers, they’ll want to also sell things like Secreto ibérico, or better yet, jamón ibérico de bellota.









  • Savotta is bombproof. I have their Jääkäri S,. M and L, as well as their Keikka 50L and 80L. Used the Keikka duffle bags as check in luggage for international travel, and they’re still as good as new. They use stainless steel hardware on the Keikka duffles on the stress points. All their bags are made from 1000D Cordura with a rubberized liner, so they’re quite water resistant.
