Originally from Italy, salami is a type of sausage made with ground pork and cubes of fat seasoned with garlic, salt, and spices. The name “salami,” from the Italian salare, meaning “to salt,” refers to the salting process used to make highly seasoned dry sausages with a characteristic fermented flavor.
Salami is usually approximately three to four inches in diameter and often named after the city or region of origin. Salami varies according to country or region of origin, coarseness or fineness of the meat blend, size, and seasonings. Kosher salami is made from kosher ingredients under rabbinical supervision.
