This was a gift from a friend who removed the expiry information! I was not aware of how to store it and assumed that as it’s vacuum sealed and a cured product that the shelf life is very long. However searching online fridge temp storage is recommended and I’m not concerned it’s not good to eat – which would be very sad!

When you open it, you will know.

Considering that i have only seen it stored in the fridge. I would say keep it in the fridge

My instict would be that, unless the room got very warm, it’s a cured meat product that is wrapped in a airtight seal. It’s probably fine. After all that’s how they used to conserve meat before refrigeration.
That being said, open it and smell – it should be pretty clear if it’s gone off from the smell alone. If anything make sure to cook it and not eat it raw.

The label says “store in a cool & dry location”. It would say something different if it needed to be refrigerated. How long it can be stored like that, I don’t know. I would definitely refrigerate once you open it.

My local grocery store keeps guanciale like this (vacuum packed) on the shelf at room temperature so don’t worry – depending on how warm your home is of course.

If in doubt always just take a sniff at it and you’ll understand if it has gone bad…
Anyway the writing say to “store it in a cool and dry place”

The last pic says “keep in a dry and fresh environment” so as it doesn’t state “keep in the fridge” you should be fine until expire date
Obviously, if you open the packaging you have to store it in the fridge

Where can I find this? Amazon maybe? Any recommended websites? I don’t have any Italian grocery stores or deli’s near where I live unfortunately. I’m dying for some of this and some hot soppressatta!!

If sealed, you can keep it at room temp
