Salami Cacciatore

Salami Cacciatore translates into “hunter’s salami”. It got this name because it is formed into small pieces of about a quarter pound, each one only three to four inches long, making them a simple and portable snack easily placed in the hunter’s shoulder bag. Hunter’s would typically cut each salami into three or four thick bite-sized pieces and eat them while on the run. To this day, Salami Cacciatore is served cut vertically in thick slices. The other unique quality of this salami is the use of juniper berry bringing out a suggestion of fruity taste in the meat.
