help Salame Milano FAQ

Why does Salame Milano have such a fine texture?

Its pork and fat are ground much more finely than in rustic, coarse-cut salami. The result is an even pink-red slice with small, regularly distributed white pieces of fat.

Are Salame Milano and crespone the same thing?

Crespone is a traditional name associated with the Milanese salami style, particularly its elongated casing and characteristic preparation. Naming can vary among producers, so labels may use Salame Milano, crespone or both.

How is Salame Milano traditionally served?

It is normally sliced thinly and served at room temperature as part of an antipasto platter. Its mild seasoning pairs readily with bread, cheeses and northern Italian red wines.

How does Salame Milano differ from Finocchiona?

Salame Milano is finely ground and is not defined by a strong fennel flavor. Tuscan Finocchiona is seasoned prominently with fennel seeds or flowers, giving it a noticeably more aromatic profile.
