Salame Genoa

Smoking Goose’s Genoa Salame is part of the producer’s Old School Salumi series, inspired by the classic pork salami traditions of northern Italy. Made with pork, pork fat, garlic, white peppercorns, and black peppercorns, this slow-cured salame develops a balanced savory flavor with gentle spice and a smooth, tender texture. The restrained seasoning allows the rich pork flavor to remain at the forefront, while the blend of peppers adds subtle warmth and aromatic complexity.

Its versatility makes it equally suited for charcuterie boards, sandwiches, antipasti spreads, and cooked applications. Finely diced, it adds savory depth to rabbit braises and rustic stews, while thin slices pair beautifully with focaccia, young Gouda cheeses, and sweet-tart fruit preserves. Founded by former chef Chris Eley, Smoking Goose has become one of America’s most respected artisan charcuterie producers, known for combining old-world salumi craftsmanship with carefully sourced meats from small Midwestern family farms.
