This is great. From someone who actually knows.., - I lived in Italy and amatrciana was one of my favorites. I’ve been struggling for years to replicate it, with inferior, American pancetta. I made the best amatriciana of my life (since Italy) tonight, with this product. All these people going on about how it was delivered without ice, etc. are full of it. They have no idea what they are talking about. Who cares about delivered warm or frozen? It’s vacuum sealed. If it isn’t spoiled and it makes amazing food, is that really important? The opposite response of, heck no, would be laughable. It’s great. Buy it and know what you’re buying. Cook it properly with an authentic recipe. Review: Amatriciana - Cooking Italian? Buy this!
