Recipe > Cacciatore Italian salami

Cacciatore salami is a type of salami originating from Italy. "Cacciatore" in Italian means "hunter", and cacciatore salami is traditionally associated with Italian hunters, who took it with them on their hunting journeys due to its portability and durability. This type of salami is characterized by being made from pork, generally mixed with seasonings such as garlic, black pepper, fennel seeds and red wine, although recipes may vary from region to region. The meat is coarsely ground, mixed with seasonings and then embedded in natural or artificial casings. After this, the salami is hung to dry and cure, which can take several weeks or months depending on the size of the salami and drying conditions.
