Pork jowl is a cut of pork from a pig's cheek.
Different food traditions have used it as a fresh cut or as a cured pork product.
As a cured and smoked meat in America, it is called jowl bacon or, especially in the Southern United States, hog jowl.
Jowl bacon can be fried and eaten as a main course, similar to streaky bacon.
Jowl meat may also be chopped and used as a garnish, similar to bacon bits, or served in sandwich form.
Pork jowl can be used as a binding ingredient in pork liver sausages, such as liverwurst and braunschweiger.
A Southern US tradition of eating black-eyed peas and greens with either pork jowls or fatback on New Year's Day to ensure prosperity throughout the new year goes back hundreds of years.
Because pork jowl can be cured, like many other cuts of pork, it has been a traditional wintertime food as it is able to be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration.
Pigs were symbolic of wealth and gluttony and consuming jowls or fatback on New Year's Day guaranteed a good new year.
Jowl bacon can be used as a seasoning for beans, black-eyed peas or cooked with leafy green vegetables such as collard greens or turnip greens in a traditional Southeastern meal.

Pork cheeks, as the name would suggest, are the little nuggets of flesh found in the cheek of the pig.
Not to be confused with the jowl, which is the surrounding area of the face and is more fat than meat.
The cheeks are meaty little portions marbled with fat, which make them melt-in-the-mouth tender once slow cooked.
Often overlooked, these are a cheap little cut and make a stew or casserole that little bit more special.
Due to the fat content which melts away during cooking, they shrink quite a bit so bear this in mind when purchasing.
2–3 per person is a good main portion size.

Iberico pork cheeks are a succulent delicacy that melts in your mouth and has a delicate nutty flavor due to the high amounts of soft fat.
They do best with slow cooking, such as by being braised, or in a stew.
You might expect pork cheeks to be fatty and not particularly flavorful, but they are actually very meaty, with marbling of fat such as you find with any cut of meat from an Iberico pig.
To get the most flavor from Iberico pork cheeks, a slow cooked method with a lot of vegetables and wine gives you the best flavor.
Around the world, pork cheeks are a soft, tasty delicacy that are much meatier than people expect.
However, when made with Iberico pork, this delicacy is only enhanced.
It is soft, flavorful, and will put other meats to shame.
It is fork tender and melts in the mouth, leaving behind a wonderful, nutty taste that will be hard to forget.
Iberico pork cheeks also allow for different flavor profiles than other cuts of meat from an Iberico pig.
Most other cuts do best with just a little bit of salt and pepper, or maybe some fresh herbs.
But with the cheeks, you can utilize the rich flavor of the pork and enhance it with heavier flavors like beef stock.
Even braised in a sauce, the delicate flavor of Iberico pork shines through, making it distinct from other types of pork or any other meat you may have tried before.

We spent most of our trip to Portugal on the coast and so had lots of fish and seafood.
When we did have meat, stewed pork cheeks were often on the menu.
They were often iberico pork, referred to as porco preto in Portugal.
The nicest pork cheeks I had during the trip were at a small restaurant called O Emigrante in Évora Monte, in the hot and dry inland region of Alentejo.
I really liked the flavors that were used with the pork cheeks: bay leaf, lemon rind, onion, garlic, and tomato, and they were served with runner beans.
Pork cheeks are called bochechas de porco in Portuguese, but at this restaurant they were called queixadas de porco preto no forno.
Iberico pork cheeks are hard to find here, and so I used wild boar cheeks instead.
Use iberico pork cheeks by all means if you can find them, but regular pork cheeks will also do.
The recipe below was inspired by my meal in Évora Monte, but it is my own creation.
As usual I chose to prepare them sous vide, but you could also cook them in the oven.
Cooking them sous vide ensured that they came out very tender and juicy.
The best part of this recipe is the jus, which was absolutely delicious.
