The originis of the italian spicy Salami

The spicy Italian Salami has its roots in South Italy. In ancient times to guarantee food supplies during the cold season Italian people used to preserve pork meat by drying it and adding salt to it.

The adding of spicy pepper, the main feature of the salami, came out as a consequence of the New World’s discovery, between the 15th and the 16th century. The spicy pepper spread quickly since it was praised for its quality of slowing the pathogenic microorganisms and for the generally lower cost compared to the other spices.

A further curiosity about this stands out on the term “Pepperoni” used in America to refer to a variant of the spicy salami that is often consumed on pizzas. In this case, the Pepperoni was spread at the beginning of the 19th century by Italo American immigrants and it was heavily inspired by the spicy Italian salami.
