help Nduja Artisans Spreadable Salami FAQ
What is 'Nduja Artisans Spreadable Salami?
It is a soft, spicy cured pork sausage associated with Spilinga in Calabria, made from ground pork, fat, salt, and Calabrian chilli peppers. Unlike a firm salami that you slice, 'nduja is soft enough to spread ([Spilinga consortium](https://www.consorziondujadispilinga.us/)).
How spicy is 'Nduja?
Calabrian chilli is the defining heat, but intensity varies by recipe and brand. The bright red color and often smoky, savory flavor come from the pepper-rich mixture rather than from a mild salami seasoning.
How do you use 'Nduja?
It can be spread on bruschetta or bread, stirred into pasta or pizza, or added to a frittata. The Spilinga tradition also uses it on charcuterie boards, so it works as both a condiment and a salumi.
Is 'Nduja specifically from Spilinga?
The name points to a Calabrian tradition centered on Spilinga, and the local consortium describes a recipe with around 300 years of history. Products sold as 'nduja-style may be made elsewhere, so check whether the label names Spilinga or Calabria.
