Salame Milano

A Milanese icon with a delicate, lingering character.

The Ingredient
Salame Milano stands out for its medium-fine, rice-grain texture, vibrant red colour and delicate flavour. Tender, aromatic and subtly spiced, it brings balance and roundness to every bite.
The Origin

FROM LOMBARD TRADITION TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Created in Rho in the 19th century, Salame Milano tells a story of innovation and identity. Originally developed to be produced throughout the year, it is still made according to a time-honoured recipe using Italian pork, black pepper and an 80-day ageing process. A symbol of Italian emigration, it carried the flavour of home overseas, becoming an authentic ambassador of Milanese gastronomic culture.

FROM LOMBARD TRADITION TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
THE PERFECT BALANCE OF FLAVOUR AND LIGHTNESS.
Did You Know?

THE PERFECT BALANCE OF FLAVOUR AND LIGHTNESS.

Its finely minced texture sets it apart from other Italian salamis, giving it a more refined and less fatty mouthfeel. Perfect with warm bread and butter, it is equally surprising when paired with tangy flavours or crisp vegetables. Ideal for those seeking full flavour without excess, it is one of the most versatile ingredients in contemporary gourmet panini.
