A spiced salami rooted in tradition

For the preparation, the thinner and fatter parts of the meat are minced and mixed with salt, spices, crushed garlic, rosemary, thyme, wild fennel and other mountain herbs; it’s ready to be eatenafter a week of aging/drying, or alternatively, you can leave it to mature for up to 10 months.
