A signature cured meat of Tuscan cuisine, finocchiona is a rustic country salami known for its use of fennel. This finocchiona from Coro Foods gets an unexpected hint of warmth from curry powder, which boosts the salami’s traditional flavors of fennel and black pepper without overpowering them. For all of their salami, Coro starts with American Humane-certified, antibiotic-free pork, with a just-right fat-to-meat ratio and top-notch marbling and texture. Celery salt is used to cure the sausage while also imparting extra savory flavor, and it is slowly aged in a curing room with meticulously controlled humidity and temperature. We love that Coro pre-peels their casings—so you don’t have to—which means that you can slice the salami straight out of the vacuum-seal packaging.

How to use

Fennel grows wild all over Italy.

It’s a common sight in many of the country’s regional cuisines: You’ll find the bulb, fronds, seeds and even the pollen used as ingredients in dishes, and many families eat thin slices of the bulb as a digestive aid between courses or at the end of a large meal. It’s no wonder finocchiona—either the aged, firm style made by Coro or its fresher, crumbly version, sbriciolona—is a staple cured meat. Legend has it—or maybe call it a tall tale—that a thief wandering a market in Prato, a town in Tuscany, stole a salami from a street hawker, stashing it in a field of wild fennel (another common sight in Italy). The salami supposedly absorbed the fennel’s heady taste before the thief retrieved it and discovered a winning combination.

HOW TO USE

We prefer this salami as an addition to a charcuterie board, snack or picnic spread, so that its distinctive flavor doesn’t get lost in a recipe.
