When it comes to Maestri’s Spianata Piccante, the shape is flat but the flavor is anything but. Originating in Calabria in Southern Italy, this spicy pork charcuterie balances bold chile and garlic with rich pockets of melt-in-your-mouth fat. After it’s stuffed, it gets pressed into its distinctive oval shape. The length of these robust slices makes them perfect for wrapping around cheese. We love them alongside creamy selections like Maplebrook Farm Burratini and Gorgonzola Cremificato.
“I like this spicy salami with sweet, creamy burrata or mozzarella, for some zingy spice to contrast with the mild, milky cheese.”

- Maestri crafts this salami in Italy but slices it in the United States, ensuring the final product is both traditionally made and incredibly fresh.
- Salami is one of the most popular types of cured meat, made by chopping or grinding meat and supplementary fat, salting and seasoning the mixture, and stuffing into casings.
- The sausages are hung to cure, ferment, and dry, which is where the salami firms up to its final texture, develops its flavor, and becomes more shelf-stable.
- Salami can contain a range of flavors and spices—this one is seasoned simply with chile and garlic.
