SALAMI A charcuterie product of Italian origin, which take the form of a sausage usually made of finely minced (ground) pork, or a mixture of meats, interspersed with pieces of fat. Beef, goose, wild boar or veal may also be used. The mixture can be flavoured with red wine, smoked, or spiced with peppercorns, garlic and herbs such as fennel or parsley. In Italy, salami is made particularly in Milan and Bologna under various official names including salame Milamese, florentino, di Felino, de fabriano, di Secondigliano and Calabrese. Salmi made in France must bear a label in French, giving the place of origin, to avoid confusion. Notable example is salami de Strasbourg . Salami is often served thinly sliced as a cold appetizer, it is also used in sandwiches and canapes and in cooked dishes such as pizza.
