Manufacturers use other meats and blends when making salami, most commonly made with pork. For example, delis may have a lamb, duck, or a beef and pork blend. In either a pork or beef casing, the ground sausage is mixed with seasonings and salt air-cured. Methods and recipes vary by region and country.. Even aging time is different. However, manufacturers typically age salami from 30 to 90 days or longer.
Although salami's beginnings are uncertain, the Romans may have adopted techniques that are now used. Salamis were traditionally popular among Southern European peasants in days before refrigeration. Since storing at room temperatures for up to 30 to 40 days, the sausage holds well once cut.
Both salamis that may be familiar to you are Genoa and Hard Salami are two salamis that may be familiar to you. Genoa salami ages with red wine, peppercorns, and garlic. A fermented flavor is present in this softer salami. In comparison, Hard Salami does not only belong to the cured category, but the meat's makers also dry and smoke the meat. The salami slices were easy to prepare.
