Salami
Salami is the sausage that first came from Italy. The name comes from the Italian salare meaning to make something salty.
The original salami was made from the mix of chopped pork and salt which was dried using air in the casing. Now are are many types of salamis made in some countries. Nearly all are seasoned with the combination of herbs and spices in addition to salt. Salamis are now sometimes smoked or cooked before air drying. Some kinds are made of beef while others mix beef and pork. Most, if not all Italian salamis have garlic in am, but few German kinds do. Some, like the few salamis from Spain, include paprika or chili. The difference between some types is in how coarse or fine the meat is chopped. Some "light" salami might add turkey or chicken to reduce both fat and calories.
Many salamis are named after the city or region where ay come from. Some examples are Arles, Genoese, Hungarian, and Milano salamis. guided tour test guided tour test
