So, what is salame?

Salame is a cured meat that hails from Italy, made primarily from pork but sometimes beef. It is seasoned with various spices and herbs such as garlic, fennel seeds, and black pepper, giving it a distinct savory flavor. The meat is typically coarsely ground, mixed with fat, and stuffed into a natural casing before being aged for several weeks to develop its characteristic aroma and texture. Salame can be enjoyed as part of an antipasto platter or sliced thin and used as a topping on pizzas or sandwiches. With its bold taste and versatility, salame is a popular ingredient in many Italian and Mediterranean dishes.
