I had to look it up. Apparently it's cut from pig (facial) cheeks
rather than the belly of the hog like regular streaky bacon. I've never
seen it in stores but then again I don't go looking for "pork cheeks".

Seems to me I've heard of these being sold as some sort of expensive
delicacy in restaurants. Ditto "beef cheeks".
