Your Salami. Your Recipe. The Right Contract Manufacturer.
Genoa salami is a classic Italian-style cured meat known for its rich, savory flavor and soft, marbled texture. Made predominantly from pork with a balanced blend of spices, fat, and garlic, it offers a mildly tangy profile due to its fermentation process. Recognized for its characteristic white mold-coated casing and delicate seasoning, Genoa salami is a versatile ingredient used in charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. Its smooth, slightly moist texture makes it a favorite among deli meats, enhancing a variety of culinary creations with a distinctive depth of flavor.
Regular consumption of Genoa salami provides a satisfying source of protein and fats, making it a practical option for both everyday meals and special occasions. Its longer shelf life, owing to the curing process, makes it ideal for storage without refrigeration until opened. Available in multiple formulations, Genoa salami caters to diverse taste preferences and dietary needs.
