About Pepperoni

Pepperoni is a seasoned, cured sausage commonly made from pork and beef, though formulations vary. It is sold sliced or as a sausage and used as a topping, filling, or snack; it is often eaten without further cooking or heated as part of a dish.

Thin slices are reddish, supple, and flecked with fat and spices. The flavour is savoury, salty, and notably seasoned, with a variable chilli warmth. Curing, drying, fat content, and whether the product is cooked or ready-to-eat can differ between brands, so nutrition comparisons should use the same product form.
