It's getting tough to get smoked provolone as well.
Either it isn't smoked or it just has "smoke flavoring".
What is the world coming to?

It’s like smoking fish - the biggest problem is keeping those suckers lit!

In Italy, Speck is smoked prosciutto. Please, don’t get me going on obtaining proper ingredients for my dishes. I’d kill to get a proper Guanciale but it can’t be done.

Same here. Nearly impossible to find caciocavallo.

Can’t find Guanciale around here (Delaware). Have to use a good Pancetta instead.

Hmmm, it doesn’t say - but I can get something similar here that’s made in Canada. You can’t get real Guanciale from Italy here.

“You cant get real Guanciale from Italy here”
Why? Can’t ship into NJ?

No, it’s an FDA thing - like how you can’t buy unpasteurized cheese. The only guanciale I can get is a “domestic” one made in Canada. I don’t know what the precise difference is, but at the specialty store where I shop, if they could get Guanciale from Italy, they would.

I’m 3hrs west in York, PA. If I was closer, I’d get a package for you and meet you at the state lines.

When I was in the navy, my ship stopped in Brindisi Italy for liberty call. Instead of following the crowd to McDonalds, my friend and I went down a side street and found a tiny restaurant with about four tables and hand written menus. We ordered Spaghetti Carbonara. It was absolutely delicious. My mouth is watering just from the memory. It also spoiled me. I have found nothing like it in the USA. Nothing. Even when I have found it on the menu in the US, it is nothing like what I had in Italy. Why do Americans have to Americanize everything?

I just got this back from the igourmet sales staff:
“The Guanciale we carry is not imported. It is made in the traditional way but it is a product of the United States.”

Yeah. I figured. The domestic ones are ok, but if you’ve ever has Carbonara or Amatriciana in Rome, forget it. :)
To: TangledUpInBlue
I remember the Food Network shows from back in the 80s, and Mario Batali claimed he had real Italian meats and cheeses, imported to his business and restaurant (before he expanded into a small empire). Is the FDA import law just recent?
