What it is
Milano salami is a type of Italian dry-cured sausage. It is typically made from pork, seasoned with garlic and other spices, and then fermented and dried. The result is a firm, flavorful sausage that is often sliced thinly for serving. This particular product comes in convenient pre-sliced portions, ready to be enjoyed straight from the package or incorporated into various dishes.
