What it is
This is a type of Italian dry-cured sausage made from pork. It is seasoned with garlic and other spices, then fermented and air-dried for several months. The result is a firm, flavorful salami with a slightly tangy taste. It is typically sliced thinly for serving. This particular package contains 1.5 ounces of the product.

To enjoy this salami, simply remove it from its packaging and slice it thinly. It is excellent served as part of an antipasto platter alongside cheeses, olives, and bread.

Its cured nature means it is ready to eat without further preparation.

Genoa salami is distinct from other salamis due to its specific blend of seasonings and its longer curing process. This results in a milder, sweeter flavor profile compared to spicier varieties like soppressata or pepperoni, and a finer, more uniform texture.
