Spotted Trotter Nduja and Guanciale
This week we’re highlighting our two favorite products from our friends at Spotter Trotter.
Nduja
‘Nduja is a 100% pork based spreadable salami made from pork belly, jowl, and shoulder. A soft and supple salami with developed spices, some smoke, and a bit of heat. This is a unique salami that can be eaten as a smear on crostini or baguette. As an alternative, it is wonderful to cook with in any tomato sauce that needs a bit of heat and depth.
Guanciale
Guanciale is an Italian cured pork jowl or cheeks. Its name is derived from guancia, the Italian word for ‘cheek’. The Spotted Trotter makes this delicious cut from Pasture Raised Pork that is finished with Toasted Fennel, Orange Zest, Toasted Black Pepper and Rosemary. It is Fermented and Hung to Cure for 6 Weeks. Great for all dishes that require depth in flavor looking for a buttery, meaty, unctuous Finish. Slice thick and render for a great bite texture, render thin and get
it crispy.

Australian Prawns!
Harvested from the pristine depths off Australia’s coast, these exceptional prawns are a rare delicacy. Their distinctive sweet flavor comes from feeding on unique local plankton in some of the world’s cleanest waters.
What makes these prawns even more special is their limited availability – they’re sourced from small, carefully managed wild fisheries that operate under strict Australian government and MSC certification, ensuring both sustainability and premium quality.
