Salami history and how it’s made

The big book of sausage history tells us that, like most cured meat, salami originated as a means of preserving meat supplies, to make them last longer once butchered, and to provide a supply of meat through the winter, or for travels. Preservation explains the basic salami-making process, which involves fermentation and drying. Ground meat and spices are combined with spices, wine and salt, before stuffing into cases. Fermentation prevents the growth of bacteria, before drying develops the flavour and extends the shelf-life. The result is complex, savoury deliciousness.
