Questions about Italian pork salami
Can you eat Italian pork salami without cooking it?
Yes: it is usually cured and ready to eat, so you can slice it straight from the pack. If the label says it needs cooking, follow those instructions instead.
How should you store Italian pork salami after opening?
Wrap it tightly or put it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. Keep sliced salami separate from raw meat, and follow the pack’s guidance on how long to use it after opening.
Can you cook Italian pork salami on a pizza?
Yes. Slice it thinly and add it before baking; it will crisp at the edges as the pizza cooks. For a less crisp topping, add it near the end of baking.
What goes well with Italian pork salami?
Pair thin slices with crusty bread, olives, hard cheese and pickled vegetables for an antipasto board. It also works in toasted sandwiches, pasta sauces and savoury tarts.
What can you use instead of Italian pork salami?
For a similar cured-meat flavour, use another pork salami such as Milano salami. For a milder, leaner alternative, try turkey salami; it has 172 kcal and 9.21 g fat per 100 g, compared with 425 kcal and 37 g in Italian pork salami.
Is Italian pork salami high in sodium?
Yes. It contains 1890 mg of sodium per 100 g, so a few thin slices can add a substantial amount to a meal.
