Finocchiona (Fennel Salame)
Finocchiona - Tuscan style Fennel Salame
-
Sometimes, the best ideas are born out of necessity, as the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention." This was well known by the Tuscan pork butchers who, in medieval times, made up for the lack of such an expensive ingredient as pepper with the more affordable fennel seeds. It must have been a surprise for them, too, to witness the astonishing success of a salami "invented" almost by accident, yet destined to become the crown jewel of a region already rich in culinary excellence.
The wild fennel seeds which are mixed during the processing with carefully selected and ground meat, give name to this incomparable, soft and tasty salami. Today as back then, when farmers paired it with less refined wines to hide their flaws, finocchiona still has the great power to make everything taste better. -
