Which is the best South Tyrolean bacon? Anyone who wants to buy South Tyrolean bacon will ask themselves this; Because logically you want to get the best quality for your money. But as with everything, there is no such thing as the best, because tastes are different and so is the use. For cooking, I usually recommend high-fat, relatively unripened pancetta, as it stays nice and soft even when cooked/fried and becomes crispy at the same time. Perfect for bacon dumplings, coleslaw with roasted bacon, fried eggs with bacon or even spaghetti carbonara (sorry to all Italians but in South Tyrol we make carbonara with bacon). On the other hand, for a real snack, a well-ripened bacon is better, which is no longer meaty but rather delicately melting and aromatic.
