Hand Diced Pancetta
London delivery in our own vans · non-perishables shipped across mainland UK
All the flavour of pancetta, with the chopping board left firmly in the cupboard.
Pancetta is cured pork belly, one of the cornerstones of Italian home cooking. This one is diced by hand and comes from Subissati, the family salumificio in the hills of Roccastrada, near Grosseto in southern Tuscany, founded in 1963. Their pigs are born, raised and slaughtered in Italy.
The small cubes render quickly, turning crisp at the edges and releasing a savoury, gently salty fat that seasons whatever is cooked in it.
Use it to start a soffritto: render it with chopped onion, carrot and celery as the base for a ragù, a minestrone or pasta e fagioli. Or crisp it up and scatter over a salad of bitter leaves with a soft egg.
About Deliciously Fine Foods
About Deliciously Fine Foods
Italian food, from inside London's market
Since 2016 we've supplied London's restaurants and food shops from New Covent Garden Market, where the city's kitchens buy their food while most of us are still asleep. Deliciously Fine Foods opens the same larder to yours, in three ways.
We bring it to you
We import charcuterie, cheese, preserves, olive oil, pasta and truffles from artisan family producers in Italy, including Subissati, curing salumi in the hills of Roccastrada, and Maremma in Barattolo on the Tuscan coast. We know every one of them personally. Our founder, Luigi, sits in on their planning meetings when new products are developed, so we know how things are made long before they reach the shelf.
We cook for you
In 2025 we opened our own kitchen at the market to cook with what we import: slow sauces, soups, trays to reheat at home. Some dishes are made to order, so they reach you fresh rather than after a week in a fridge.
We come to you
Our chefs can bring our produce and our skills into your home, for a dinner you actually get to sit down at. Meet our chefs →
How it reaches you
In Central London we deliver ourselves, by electric cargo bike, which overtakes the traffic more often than you'd think. The rest of the UK mainland goes by courier, and our wines come from our cellar in Fulham. No minimum order.
