Lean pork and distinct fat cubes
The regional agriculture description lists lean pork from cuts such as shoulder, belly and coppa, mixed with cubes of lardo. Maturation varies with the salami’s size. The visible contrast between red lean meat and white fat is part of its identity.
The Tuscan bread pairing
The regional description suggests serving it as an antipasto with unsalted Tuscan bread and red wine. Keep the bread simple so the salami supplies the seasoning.
