Salami Facts

The word “salami” includes a range of cured, spiced sausage varieties with a firm texture. It is actually a type of cured sausage that consist of fermented and air-dried meat, normally beef or pork. Historically, salami was popular among southern and central European farmers because it stores at room temperature for up to 40 days once cut, supplementing a potentially meager or unpredictable supply of fresh meat. Countries and regions across Europe make their own traditional varieties of salami.Salami is usually fairly hard, making it easier to slice thinly and ideal for use in sandwiches or enjoyed by itself.
