Salame al Finocchio

Salame al Finocchio is a typical product from Tuscany. Its characteristic flavor comes from the presence of wild fennel seeds in the preparation, a habit introduced in the Middle Ages to replace pepper, which is rarer and more expensive. This charcuterie then spread throughout the country. It has also been appreciated outside the Italian borders for decades. Salame al Finocchio is made with minced pork and wild fennel seeds. It has a deep red color, a subtle fennel smell and flavor.
