Description

Genoa Salami is a cured sausage of Italian origin, specifically from the Genoa region in Liguria. It is characterized by its firm texture and an intense, spicy flavor, the result of a careful blend of selected pork meat, fat, salt, black pepper, and other traditional spices like garlic and fennel. Its artisanal curing process gives it a unique aroma and a balanced flavor, making it ideal for use in appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and charcuterie boards.

Regarding its properties, Genoa Salami is a good source of proteins and fats, providing energy and flavor to dishes. Due to its sodium and fat content, it is recommended to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

In various Latin American countries, this sausage may be known by synonyms or similar names such as genoa salame, genoa-style salame, or simply salami, although the term "Genoa salami" is the one that best specifies its Italian style and origin.
