I’m assuming this is now a write-off but would anybody know why this happens and now to prevent it in future? Thanks

I’ve had this happen to a number of pancetta. Seems like the very fatty bits of belly, usually on the corners just never wants to dry. I’ve had some luck turning the humidity down 2-3%, and just giving it more time. But it doesn’t always work.
Wish I could be more help but it’s not just you
Did you cure with red wine by any chance? That could explain part of the blackness.

Isnt mold suppose to be powdery or fuzzy? Might be the pic. But it actually looks like black meat.
