Salami (the food)

Salami is a type of cured sausage made from fermented and seasoned meat, typically pork or beef. The process involves grinding the meat, mixing it with salt, spices, and sometimes wine, then stuffing it into natural or synthetic casings. It undergoes fermentation and drying over several weeks or months, enhancing flavor and preserving the meat. Salami features a firm texture and a rich, savory taste, with variations ranging from mild to spicy. It’s commonly sliced thin and served as part of charcuterie boards, sandwiches, or antipasto platters, appreciated for its complex flavor profile and long shelf life.
