Salami is the true excellence of Italian tradition and the protagonist of all the tastiest aperitivo boards.

Just cut it into slices and enjoy a whirlwind of pleasure. 

But have you ever thought of using it in the kitchen? 

 

Today we take you into the kitchen to prepare 3 delicious baked Salami recipes.

We have chosen the Nero del Rosa cured salami for its more intense but balanced flavour. 

It’s a traditional salami from the Ossola Valley in Piedmont.
