Olympia Provisions Salami Cotto
- by Olympia Provisions
- United States
This large-format cooked salami is inspired by the Piedmont, Italy deli staple. Flavored with fresh rosemary, chili flakes, fennel seed, garlic, and a hearty helping of black pepper, it boasts a nuanced blend of spices and a touch of bold heat. Perfect for serving with similarly bold cheeses and briny pickles (think Piave Vecchio and Olympia Provisions Pickled Cauliflower), this classic is a star on sandwiches and charcuterie boards alike.
