Low-fat pepperoni is a lighter variant of traditional pepperoni, a spicy sausage very popular in American cuisine, especially as a pizza topping and in sandwiches. This product is made with lean meats and techniques that reduce the fat content while maintaining its characteristic intense and slightly smoky flavor.
Pepperoni has its origins in Italian-American influence, derived from Italian salami, and has become a staple ingredient in various culinary preparations, especially in fast and casual cuisine.
Among its properties, low-fat pepperoni offers a healthier alternative for those who wish to reduce their intake of saturated fats without giving up flavor. It is rich in protein and provides a spicy and aromatic flavor profile that enhances many recipes.
Regarding synonyms in Latin American Spanish, although the term "pepperoni" is widely used, it can also be found as spicy salami or spicy salchichón, although these may vary depending on the region and the specific type of sausage.
