Grinding, seasoning and casing
ASSICA describes salami as mixtures of ground meat, fat and other ingredients that are cased and matured. Grind and seasoning distinguish regional versions. Sausage does not always mean a fresh product: the Salsiccia di Calabria specification describes a cured pork sausage. Read the individual product’s description before deciding how to serve it.
