HOW TO ENJOY IT BEST
The best way to enjoy Felino PGI Salami is to slice it with a knife, using an oblique cut called a “becco di flauto”, the thickness of a peppercorn.
This salami, along with other typical Emilian cold cuts, is the starter par excellence in Parma cuisine. It can also be used to make vegetable quiche or warm polenta croutons.
Felino PGI Salami pairs well with a glass of Lambrusco or Malvasia, which complements its flavour and aroma.
It is gluten-free, coeliac-friendly, and free of allergens and GMOs. It is also vacuum-packed to maintain quality.
PRODUCTION
The meat is seasoned with salt, pepper, natural aromas, and white wine, according to the specifications of the Consorzio di Tutela del Salame Felino IGP (Consortium for the Protection of Felino PGI Salami).
The salami is stuffed into natural gut, known as ‘budello gentile,’ giving it its distinctive irregular cylindrical shape.
It is never cured for less than 60 days, allowing the mixture to retain its softness.
CURIOSITIES
The origins of the Felino Salami date back to the 1st century A.D., but it was also appreciated by the courts of the Farnese, the Bourbons and the Duchess Maria Luigia.
The name “Felino” refers to the town of origin, 15 km from Parma, which is characterised by an area that is particularly suitable for the production of excellent salami, thanks to its humidity, temperature and air circulation.
The Consorzio di Tutela del Salame Felino IGP (Consortium for the Protection of Felino PGI Salami) was set up to protect and promote this product, which has received IGP recognition from the European Union.
In order to distinguish an original Felino PGI Salami from a counterfeit, it is important to evaluate certain characteristics, such as tenderness, sweet and delicate flavour on the palate and intense aroma. These aspects are determined by the quality of the meat, the cut used, the type of processing and the curing period.
