Soppressata is a traditional Italian salami made from coarsely ground pork, seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and red wine. The name means "pressed" - it's aged under weight to create its distinctive flattened shape and dense texture. Flavour Profile: Bold, garlicky, and wine-forward with a coarse texture that releases bursts of flavour. The pressing process concentrates the taste, creating a more intense experience than regular salami. How to Use: Slice thick for charcuterie boards Pair with aged cheeses and crusty bread Serve with Italian wines or beer Add to antipasti platters Layer in sandwiches or paninis Best served at room temperature with the casing removed. The rustic texture and bold flavours make it perfect for traditional Italian appetiser spreads and pair beautifully with robust red wines.
