Salami is a type of cured sausage made from fermented and air-dried meat, typically pork, beef, or a combination of both. It is seasoned with various spices and herbs, which can include garlic, pepper, and wine. Salami is often sliced thin and served as a cold cut in sandwiches, on charcuterie boards, or as a snack. The process of making salami involves grinding the meat, mixing it with seasonings, and stuffing it into casings. After that, it undergoes fermentation and drying, which helps preserve the meat and develop its distinct flavor. Salami is popular in many cuisines, especially in Italian and Spanish dishes.
