Lard with Genoese basil (a PDO product) is made with Italian lard that's been salted and aged for 40 days. After aging, it develops alternating layers of fat and lean meat. The vivid notes of fresh Genoese basil, dried in a special room, as well as garlic and rosemary, lend liveliness to pancetta's signature primary aromas and sweet sensations. It's properly savory, moist and juicy.
