Tuscan Style Salami - Underground Meats

Tuscan Style Salami - Underground Meats

A Tuscan salami built on the Finocchiona idea, seasoned with fresh garlic, cracked black pepper and red wine. Underground Meats makes it in the United States, and it has become one of the shop's steadiest sellers for the simple reason that it tastes like more than the sum of three ingredients.

Why you'll love it

• Finocchiona lineage — the Tuscan classic is the model here, so expect a savory, winey salami rather than a plain one.
• Garlic and pepper — fresh garlic and black pepper carry the front of the slice, warm rather than sharp.
• Red wine in the cure — a pour of red wine rounds the salt and gives the finish a little lift.
• Sliced thin, stays neat — firm enough to slice and fan out on a board without tearing.
• Individually packed — sealed on its own, so it keeps while you work through it a few slices at a time.

How to enjoy Cut it thin and lay it beside something soft and milky, or skip the board entirely and eat it with a glass of Chianti. The wine's acidity does the same job a pickle would.

A reliable salami to keep on hand, and the one we reach for when the board needs a sure thing.
