Soppressata
Soppressata is a type of Italian cured meat, specifically a dry salami. It is made from coarsely ground pork, seasoned with spices like black pepper and garlic, then stuffed into a casing and air-dried for several months. The name "soppressata" varies by region; for instance, the southern version often includes more spices and has a spicier flavor profile. It is typically sliced thin and served as part of antipasti platters, in sandwiches, or enjoyed on its own. Its rich, savory flavor makes it a popular choice in Italian cuisine and among charcuterie enthusiasts.
