RUSTIC SALAMIS

Rustic Salami is a Varzino-type, lightly aged salami that comes from 100% Italian meats flavoured with spices and natural aromas. 

These Mini Salami are characterized by a smaller size than classic salami, a coarse-grained grind and artisanal processing that involves hand-tying. 

Thanks to the use of fine parts of the pig, Rustic Salamis release an irresistible fragrance that is perfectly in line with their taste, from the moment the first slice is cut. 

It presents a typical taste of lightly seasoned salami, aromatic and free of traces of acidity, and enriched by a compact but soft texture. 

The sweet and intense aromas release a sense of cellar on the palate, with hints of pepper and a totally unique complex and spicy aroma. 

Our Rustic Salami is ideal for an aperitif, paired with aged cheeses and raw vegetables and a glass of lively, drinkable wine such as Lambrusco.

Remove the casing before consuming Rustic Salamis and, once cut, store in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry cellar. 

If stored in the refrigerator, we recommend bringing it to room temperature and slicing it about half an hour before tasting, to fully savour the flavours and its irresistible taste. 

Store the whole product in a cool and dry place of around 12-15°C. 

Once cut, store it in the refrigerator wrapped in a cotton cloth or food wrap. 

Processing 

The mixture of Rustic Salamis is made from lean pork meat cut with a coarse-grain grind, flavoured with various natural flavourings, as per an ancient recipe handed down in the company for three generations, which gives it its unique flavour. 

Once the stuffing of the mixture in the natural gut is finished, it is hand-tied: an artisanal technique that is still used in the company today.

Next, a short ageing period of a few days in special wood-lined rooms with a 70-years-long history begins. 

How to consume it 

We recommend consuming Rustic Salamis au natural, but as an alternative, there are many traditional recipes that can enhance its taste, although in Italy salami is usually eaten raw by tradition. 

A simple but tasty recipe is the savoury pie with ricotta cheese and salami: a rustic appetiser that can be consumed as a main course or a single dish as needed.
