La Spianata Calabra salami

The Spianata Calabra is one of Calabria's most distinctive cured meats, easily recognized by its flat shape, vibrant color and pronounced spiciness. It embodies the culinary identity of Southern Italy, where chili pepper is not just a seasoning but a cultural symbol. Thanks to traditional craftsmanship and carefully selected ingredients, this salami offers an intense aromatic profile and an authentic regional character.

Origin and Ingredients This salami is made from high-quality pork sourced from controlled farms. A precise balance of lean cuts and premium fat ensures a compact, uniform texture. Calabrian chili pepper — the key ingredient — gives the salami its signature heat, bright color and deep aroma. The seasoning blend is designed to enhance the natural sweetness of the meat without overpowering it.

Production Method The meat is minced, seasoned with natural spices and Calabrian chili, then stuffed into natural casings. The salami is pressed to achieve its characteristic flat shape and slowly matured in controlled environments. This process develops a firm texture, an intense aroma and a balanced spiciness that unfolds gradually.

On the palate, the La Spianata Calabra is rich, intense and pleasantly spicy, balanced by the natural sweetness of the meat. Its texture is compact and uniform, with a harmonious distribution of lean meat and fat.
