Salami
Salami is a type of cured sausage that originated in the Mediterranean region, with roots tracing back to Italy and neighboring countries. It is made from fermented and air-dried meat, typically pork, though beef and veal can also be used. The flavor profile of salami is robust and savory, often featuring notes of garlic, pepper, and a slight tang from the fermentation process. Its texture is firm yet tender, with a satisfying chew that releases bursts of umami with each bite. In cooking, salami holds its shape well and can be sliced thin for sandwiches or diced for added depth in pasta dishes and stews. Its rich flavor makes it a versatile ingredient that can elevate both simple and complex dishes.
