Be A Pro, Know These Salami Types

Salami is a very adaptable meat; it tastes great as salami chips, stacked on top of pizza, in a chopped salad, or as part of an appetiser spread with bread and cheese. Uncooked ground pork, spices, wine, and garlic are combined to create salami, which is then dried and cured. Beyond that, this delightful, salty treat comes in a huge variety. The most popular kinds are described here.
