Salame Cotto (Cooked Salami) – spelled salam cheuit in the Piedmont dialect – is a typical Northern Italian salami made from 100% Italian pork meat from selected farms. It is processed with a traditional mixture of salt, spices, and herbs and then slowly steamed.
Its delicate flavour, given by the moderate presence of fat and light salting, makes the Cooked Salami suitable for every palate and easy to digest.
This salami is characterised both by the light-red colour tending to pink and its particular taste given by the casing and the spices used.
It is ideal to be cut into thick slices and eaten at room temperature to taste it at its best and fully perceive its characteristic aromas.
It is excellent with a good red wine such as Cisterna d’Asti DOC, known for being made with fragrant and perfumed Croatina grapes.
Cooked Salami is also characteristic for its versatility. In fact, it can be cut into small dice to make the aperitif more pleasant or cut into thin slices and served with fresh cheeses as an appetizer. It can also be cut into thick slices and grilled with seasonal vegetables, used as a filling for sandwiches, or served with sauerkrauts.
Given its origins and features, Cooked Salami can be found in many traditional Piedmont recipes, such as Frittata Rognosa and Russian salad “alla piemontese”.
Processing
Salame Cotto was once prepared using discarded parts, but nowadays it is produced with selected and quality cuts.
The traditional processing involves a stuffing phase in a particular casing, called “tascone” (big pocket) which allows the production of large pieces, typical of the Cooked Salami.
The processing is similar to the one employed for cured salami, but after being ground, stuffed, and hand-tied, the fine pork meat is cooked at 70°C for about 8 hours.
Afterward, it is left to cool and marinate and then vacuum-packed so that it maintains its organoleptic qualities unaltered.
Historical background
Cooked salami is a typical product of the popular gastronomic culture of Piedmont. In fact, it is the main dish of the “merenda sinoira”, the ready-to-go snack eaten by farmers after a day of hard work in the fields and vineyards of Piedmont.
This salami represents the typical conviviality of past times since it was eaten in company with a good glass of local wine.
