Fiorucci UNCURED ABRUZZESE Hot & Spicy Salami
What it is
This is a dry-cured salami made with pork. It is seasoned with a blend of spices that give it a distinct hot and spicy flavor. The salami is typically sold in a casing and is ready to eat. It is a firm, sliceable sausage that has been aged to develop its characteristic taste and texture. The uncured nature means it does not contain added nitrates or nitrites from artificial sources, relying instead on natural curing processes.
How people cook with it

To enjoy this salami, simply remove it from its packaging. If it has a casing, you can peel it off before slicing. Slice the salami thinly for best results. It is delicious served cold on a platter with cheeses and crackers, or it can be added to hot dishes. When heated, the fat renders and the spices become more pronounced. It holds its shape well when sliced and can be layered into sandwiches or added to the top of a pizza during the last few minutes of baking.
