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.
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.”
