Hello everyone! First time posting here. So I had this 1.3 kilogram pork jowl to make Guanciale.

I put it in 1 kilogram of salt and 1 kilogram of sugar for six days.

Then this came out as a result.
The odor is fine. I didn’t noticed any mold.

I noticed the thickest part wasn’t as firm as I was expecting but proceeded anyway.

Now it’s been two days wrapped on paper towels inside the fridge, since is summer in the place I live and don’t have other place to put it.

Let me know what you think 🤔 and if you have any thoughts about it.
