Salt
pork or white bacon is salt-cured pork. It is prepared from one of
three primal cuts: pork side, pork belly, or fatback. Depending on the
cut, respectively, salt pork may be lean, streaky, or entirely fatty.
Made from the same cuts as bacon, salt pork resembles slab bacon but is
considerably saltier and not bacon-cured nor smoked. Salt pork is used
in traditional American cuisine to add flavor and it is generally
cooked (blanched or rendered) before use.
Pancetta is a type of Italian dry cured meat, similar to bacon. It is
pork belly that has been salt cured and spiced (usually with garlic,
nutmeg, pepper, fennel, and dried ground hot peppers), and dried for
about three months (but usually not smoked). There are many varieties,
and in Italy each region produces its own type.
