    Jowl is the pearl of the pig! So after reading some of the comments, I'll reply with you can use as you would regular bacon but I would at least try some just fried up so you can taste just the bacon. It's better than regular bacon, I don't know why but it is. It seems that the fat is different to me.

    For those looking to find some you have to friend up a butcher. When I used to order my bellies I would ask for the jowls. Other than that I have never ever seen jowls available. I originally got to make guanciale but I couldn't hang it in the cellar for a few weeks. Just didn't seem right to me. I now have a wine chiller and I might just try this again for that. Here is a link to an old post when I was doing my original bacon experimenting.

      Was Jonesing to try it, so onto the Blackstone it went. Was good stuff! Not much different than regular bacon IMO. Or at least the stuff I got.
