Nostrano Salami

This Nostrano salami is a classic Italian-style salami made from 100% Berkshire pork and aged for three months to develop depth and balance. Coarsely ground for a traditional texture, it is seasoned with black peppercorns and red wine, resulting in a rich, savory flavor with subtle spice and a clean, rounded finish. The careful fermentation and drying process create a firm yet tender slice that reflects Northern Italian charcuterie traditions.

Slice thinly and serve as part of a charcuterie board with cheeses, olives, and crusty bread, or pair with pickled vegetables and mustards for contrast. It also works well layered into sandwiches or enjoyed on its own as a simple, flavorful snack. Its balanced seasoning makes it versatile, complementing both mild and more robust accompaniments without overwhelming them.

Angel’s Salumi was founded by Pascal Besset, who began his culinary career at 17 in Monte Carlo and spent years refining his craft across France, Corsica, and Paris under renowned charcuterie masters. After working in several five-star kitchens, he brought his expertise to the United States, where he continues to produce artisanal charcuterie using traditional European techniques and high-quality ingredients.
