Salami Milano is crafted from lean pork and pork fat, finely minced to achieve a smooth, uniform texture. Its seasoning is subtle and balanced, typically including:
- Salt
- White or black pepper
- Garlic
- Sometimes wine or sugar for a delicate aroma and sweetness
The salami is slow-cured, air-dried and allowed to ferment for several months, resulting in a firm yet tender product with a fine-grained, ruby red appearance and marbled look.
Cheese Pairings
The best cheese to pair with Milano Salami is Asiago. Its nutty flavor complements the lean salami perfectly, whether on a sandwich or cheese platter. Other options include Parmesan, Provolone, Gouda, or Burrata, depending on whether you prefer creamy, sharp, or mild flavors.
Bread and Crackers
Pair Milano Salami with crusty breads like ciabatta or baguette for a satisfying texture. Neutral crackers offer a clean way to enjoy the salami and cheese flavors.
Condiments and Spreads
Delicate flavors like honey or fig jam beautifully complement the salami’s sweetness, creating a delightful contrast. A touch of spicy mustard adds remarkable heat, while olive tapenade or high-quality extra virgin olive oil can enhance the complex flavors on a carefully arranged platter.
Wine Pairing
For a classic pairing, Franciacorta Sparkling Wine is perfect with Milano Salami. Its fruity notes complement the salami’s delicate taste, providing a refreshing contrast. Light red wines like Pinot Noir or crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc are also good options.
