  • Have you tasted all four of these?
    While they are often given as substitutes for one another, each one of these meats have a distinct flavor and texture based on which part of the pig they come from and their method of production.
    I would recommend tasting them side by side to learn the effects of different processes.

      Sorry...To clarify. These are the US norms. There are some pancettas that exist or come from Italy which are aged to the point that they are safe to eat raw. Normally you'll find those sliced thinly like prosciutto, but the blocked pancetta you find in a US supermarket is normally not cured to the point that it's safe to eat raw. So that's the rule of thumb in the USA.
      Continue enjoying your Italian Raw Pancetta.

    I work in a deli and get asked "what's the difference between cured and un-cured?" Pretty often, I answer the same way "cured basically means buried in salt to steal the moisture from the meat so it doesn't spoil, un-cured means less salt but pasteurized for safety" no one is ever satisfied with that answer and I have to explain further...

    • @JosiahMcCarthy

      Whoa, that's really not the difference. It's really just whether they use mineral salts as the source of nitrates vs plant extracts as the nitrates. As far as more vs less, it can actually go the other way around, where "uncured" has more.

    Speck (pronounced sh-peck) is just the German word for bacon. you're referring to south tyrol Speck which is a type of Speck that's also very common all over Austria and southern Germany very similar to Schwarzwälder Speck.

      ​@@TriggTube as a native German speaker the video left me confused as well. Speck is actually a German term and the equivalent to the English bacon, with more than 50 % fat and made from the back or the belly of the pig. In case of "Speckschwarte" it could also have skin and far more fat than red meat.
      Though there is regional speciality called "South Tyrolian Speck" from the German speaking region within Italy. This is actually not a "Speck"/bacon in the sense north of the Alp - but a cured and mildly smoked ham from the leg of the pig. Similar products wouldn't be called "Speck" in other German speaking regions, but "Schinken" ( e.g. Black Forest Schinken from Southwest Germany or Katen Schinken from North Germany).
      Though I believe "South Tyrolian Speck" is it's own speciality term with protected geographical origin under EU law.
      I don't know if "speck" is a general term in Italy but as shown in the video it means obviously resembles the South Tyrolian version of it.

    Pinned comment for the food nerds… whether it's cured or “uncured” the bacon that you buy has been treated with nitrates to help preserve it. The difference is that with “cured” bacons, the nitrates are synthetically produced (I should have said synthetically instead of chemically in the video), whereas “uncured” bacon uses the naturally occurring nitrates in celery or other veggies. The outcome is pretty similar, but “cured” bacon will have a pinker color. There are health claims associated with both techniques, but I couldn't find any solid evidence either way, so I would go by taste, budget, and accessibility.
    (Note: In some cases, pancetta can be cut thinly and eaten raw, but it depends... so just be careful and informed)
    Also… I know speck is the least common of these four in the USA, but I’ll recommend it as one of my favorites. It normally comes with a dry piece of skin still on the fatty side of the leg, so remove that and dig in. 🐷 That’s all folks!!!

      Food scientist here, and I’ve been making ham for almost 9 years. There is no meaningful difference between sodium nitrite and naturally occurring nitrites. For example, the celery is processed down so much, it’s virtually the same as sodium nitrite, because they’re extracting the nitrites from the celery. If you’re concerned with nitrites and opt to lean towards marketing labels such as “un-cured”, please do additional research as you’re still consuming nitrites regardless of their source. If nitrites are that concerning for you, I would suggest abstaining from any type of cured meat regardless of whether a label claim says “uncured”.

    There's no difference in the compound used to cure regular and "uncured" bacon. Both use sodium nitrite. The only difference is the source. Commercial NaO2 is synthesized, while the "uncured" uses that which us naturally present in dehydrated celery juice. In fact, celery is so high in NaO2 naturally, that "uncured" pork products have tested at higher concentrations than those using a standard commercial curing salt.

    • @TriggTube

    @psychoedge Před 3 měsíci +6

    It's pronounced "SHpeck" not "speck". In German speaking regions Speck directly refers to the fat. So if you order Speck from a German butcher you will receive fatback - pure fat tissue, usually with the pork rind on, most regions air dry it, some smoke it. If you order "Frühstücksspeck" (breakfast bacon) or "durchwachsenen Speck" (streaky bacon) you'll receive your classic wet cured (occasionally smoked) bacon cut from the belly. If you order Schinkenspeck (ham bacon) you will receive a cured and smoked meat-heavy piece from the leg with a fat cap that differs from other Speck in the way that it's consumed rather like any ham. What you refer to as speck in your video is likely Tiroler Speck or Gaitaler Speck (or any Schinkenspeck similar to it). In Austria any dry cured and smoked meat with a fat cap on is referred to as Speck which can include regular back or belly fat but also smoked hams from the back, shoulder or leg, with a fatcap. Tiroler Speck, like Schwarzwälder Schinken (blackforest ham) are protected geographical indications so they denote a specific type of product/product families from a geographic region in the European union. Products with this property have an official blue seal. There's also a red and yellow seal for protected designation of origin (PDO or POD), meant for products where even all ingredients were produced in a certain geographic region, Parmigiano Reggiano or some types of Jamon Iberico for example. If your meat or cheese has one of those two seals you know you have the real deal.

    • @TriggTube
      @TriggTube  Před 3 měsíci +6

      Fully correct. But it's worth noting that the context of this video is English and specifically the American usage. I'm not saying it's the only or best way to classify things, but it is the context of the video. And here, it's pronounced speck and it refers to Tyrolian speck. If you go to a butcher here and ask for sHpeck, you will be not be understood because you are literally speaking a foreign language. If you ask for speck... they will give you the meat I had in the video. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying for anyone else who is interested in the German differences. I did not know that.

    Pancetta it's almost exclusively eaten raw here in Italy. When a recipe needs something similar to be cooked we usually go for guanciale.
