Genoa salami – good lunch meat Login/Join

Genoa salami is my favorite lunch meat. A Genoa salami and cheese sandwich made from quality ingredients is fit for a king IMO. Lots of good flavor and texture too. I became curious to see what the web had to say about Genoa salami. The Wikipedia article isn’t very satisfying, but I couldn’t find anything better.

“Genoa salami is a variety of salami commonly believed to have originated in the area of Genoa, Italy. It is normally made from pork, but may also contain veal. It is seasoned with garlic, salt, black and white peppercorns, and red or white wine. Like many Italian sausages, it has a characteristic seasoned and aged flavor. …”

Hard salami is best salami.

I also prefer the hard variety but only because there are sometimes large pieces of pepper in Genoa Salami that I hate biting into.

You should try Lebanon Bologna sometime, have you ever heard of it and can you get it in your area? I think it’s more a PA Dutch thing.

Genoa Salami has been my absolute favorite since I was a small boy.

Quality white bread, yellow mustard, Genoa Salami (one slice), cheddar or American cheese slice, another Genoa Salami slice, and maybe (depending on my mood) Miracle Whip on the last slice of bread. Two of these is a great lunch.

Sometimes I add more salami slices and more cheese slices if that fits my mood for the day.
Then just one sandwich is sufficient.

I do these infrequently enough that they are a real treat for me.

I've been partial to the Creminelli salami:

I am also partial to a good salami sandwich. One slice of salami, one slice of cheese, another slice of salami. If I'm feeling fancy I might put some stone ground mustard in there, but I usually just eat it without.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Hard to find real-deal Genoa salmi here in the states, what passes for it tends to be overly salty. I usually opt for Finocchiona instead.

I like all forms of salami, but usually prefer hard salami.

Is soppresata a kind of salami? I like that, too.

Soppressata is an Italian dry salami. Although there are many variations, two principal types are made: a cured dry sausage typical of Basilicata, Apulia, and Calabria, and a very different uncured salame, made in Tuscany and Liguria

yes, its a dry salami variety, much thiner compared to the larger sausages like the Genoa variety.
Soppresata is to Italian as Saucisson Sec is to French and Fuet & Salchichón is to the Spanish. Every region/country has their version of air dried-cured meats.
