A Tradition of Flavor, Aged to Perfection

This Pork Salami Metsovou with Fennel is an artisanal rich product and the main ingredient is 97% premium Greek black pig meat. It is a product of the well-known charcuterie of the Metsovo tradition. The recipe of this handcrafted salami involves seasoning it with salt, black pepper, and aromatic fennel seeds that are the main spices, which then make it sweetish and add an anise-like depth to the tasty cured flavor. The method involves simple natural fermentation and aging of this salami, so it gets a very smooth, well-rounded taste with the qualities of small saltiness and herbal bitterness. The salami is basically only fermented and not cooked at all. Therefore, it is a complete reflection of the traditional sounds and feels and it is an extravagant Greek charcuterie experience.

How Can I Enjoy the Pork Salami Metsovou with Fennel?

Metsovo-style salami absorbs all of its diverse aromas best when it is cut to a very thin slice and served at room temperature. It makes a good choice for a charcuterie board where it will nicely combine with aged cheeses, marinated olives, and rustic artisanal bread. The infusion of natural fennel is also a great match for those citrus-forward salads or the fresh figs, thus creating a nice expression to eat with the deep umami flavor. For a sophisticated addition, it can be used in rustic burgers, pasta dishes, or even honey and nuts served as a fancy appetizer. It doesn’t matter if you have it by itself or as part of a well-put-together dish, this Greek black pig salami is incredibly unique and delicious.

What Wine or Drinks Pair Well with Pork Salami Metsovou with Fennel?

This salami is very well paired with medium-bodied red wines such as Agiorgitiko, Barbera, or Pinot Noir, which seem to complement its depth without covering the delicate spices. Besides, an Assyrtiko that is light and citrusy will enhance its herbal complexity, while a refreshing dry Prosecco that is slightly sparkling will offer a crisp contrast to the rich, cured flavors it bears. In contrast to the wine, people who would rather take spirits with the salami can go for an herbal gin or a smooth whiskey aged in oak, which can underline the salami’s warmth and spice.
