This Hidden Gem Butcher Shop in Longmont is too Good Not to Share
It's somewhat surprising how life can work out sometimes. Last week, I was searching for a specific cut of cured meat that is not readily available in Colorado. This Italian meat is known as guiancale and is made from pork cheek.
In the past, I have had to drive all the way down to the Denver Metro area to get some, and it's not cheap either. Before heading to my usual Italian deli to pick some guiancale up for a dish, I decided to search online to see if I could find somewhere that was a little more accessible.
