Pancetta Arrolotata is a rolled and trussed version of Italian pancetta - cured and air-dried pork belly. It's fairly easy to make but the trickiness is in rolling it tight enough to ensure the inside does not spoil. This is also helped by adding a lot of crushed black pepper. The pepper adds to the flavour and also helps due to it's antibacterial properties.
