Salami is a cured, fermented sausage typically made from ground pork in a firm casing. It slices into marbled rounds with a gentle chew and a savory, garlicky aroma; serve thin on sandwiches, antipasto, pizza, or charcuterie, or dice to enrich pastas and salads. Sold as whole logs and pre-sliced packs.

It originated in Italy as a preservation method and evolved into regional styles across Europe. Immigration and industrial curing spread salami to North America, where both artisanal and large-scale versions are produced.
