Fiorucci Uncured Genoa Salame
What it is
This is a dry-cured Italian-style salami made from pork. It is seasoned with a blend of spices, including black pepper and garlic, which give it its characteristic flavor. The salame is then aged to develop its firm texture and rich taste. It is typically sliced thinly for serving. The uncured designation means it does not contain added nitrates or nitrites from artificial sources. It is a shelf-stable product that does not require refrigeration before opening.
How people cook with it
This salame is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is perfect for snacking or adding to various dishes.

To enjoy, simply remove the salame from its packaging. You can peel off the casing if it is present. Slice the salame thinly using a sharp knife or a deli slicer. It is excellent served at room temperature to enhance its full flavor. Add slices to sandwiches, layer them on pizzas before baking, or toss them into pasta dishes towards the end of cooking. It also pairs well with cheeses, olives, and crusty bread for an appetizer.
