About Genoa salami

Genoa salami is a cured, fermented sausage associated with Genoa, Italy, commonly made from pork and seasoned with garlic and spices; some versions also include beef or wine. It is generally eaten in thin slices, as a cold cut or as an ingredient in sandwiches and other preparations.

A typical slice is reddish, with visible white pieces of fat and a firm yet yielding texture. Its flavour is savoury, salty and tangy, with seasoning that varies by producer. Recipes and curing methods differ, so the name does not guarantee a particular meat blend or set of seasonings.
