Answer 2

Salami Uncooked, but safe to eat raw thanks to an extensive curing process, salami is the most beloved of all Italian sausages. Each Italian region makes salami in a different way, flavoring it with different seasonings and curing it according to local customs. Generally, unique salami produced in any one area is available throughout Italy. Some examples include: Finocchiona A thick salami typical of Tuscany. Fennel seeds, garlic, and wine are added to lean meat from the pork shoulder and fat from the cheeks. Finocchiona is aged to develop flavors for as long as five months. Genoa Salami A rich, fatty salami named after Genoa, flavored with white peppercorns. Cacciatori Produced mainly in Lombardy, small Cacciatori are aged briefly and have a mild flavor. They are mainly made with pork and beef mixed with pork fat. Their scent is very appetizing. Neapolitan Salami This sausage is unique because spicy chili flakes are added to the mixture of pork meat and fat. The salami is smoked and cured for two months, causing it to develop a sharp, spicy flavor. Generally, salami is made of ground pork meat and fat, and seasoned with ingredients that give it a unique taste, such as fennel seeds, black or pink peppercorns, or hot chili flakes. It is enclosed in a casing to lock in flavor, then air-dried in a cool place, where it is left to age and deepen its flavor. The curing period can last as long as one year for big, thick salami, or just a couple of weeks for smaller ones. A good salami is characterized by an intense aroma, a reddish color, and a slight saltiness. In addition, it should feel compact yet tender; if it is too soft, it is too young and needs to be matured to the right point, while salami that is too hard has lost too much moisture. With the casing intact, salami will keep for a long time, but once it has been cut, it should be kept refrigerated for two to three weeks or it will dry up. Salami is best served at room temperature in antipasti platters, soups, pastas, and sandwiches.

Answer 3

It can be made out of either beef or pork.
I'd stay with beef...and go kosher, if you can find it.
That way, you'll be guaranteed that the meat is fresh, healthy and won't contain mystery parts from the cow.
