SALUMI CHICAGO: The New Standard of Salami in the United States. OUR STORY: Greg Laketek quit his day job and booked a one-way ticket to Parma, Italy, the home of Prosciutto, seeking to train under the best salumiere in the world. By chance, he was able to directly learn the ins and outs of the protected secrets of Italian Salumi. Utilizing superior quality spices, meats and curing methods rooted in the old world, Salumi Chicago uniquely brings another level of Italian quality meats to the United States. OUR PROCESS: Have you ever had salami that tastes tangy and more like packaging than meat With our salami, the meat is the star. By using premium heritage-bred pork and just the right amount of toasted, small batch spices, when you bite into our salami you taste the natural flavor of the meat. Following the Old World tradition, our salami is fermented very slowly over 48 hours to bring out the natural flavors of the meat. After this, we age the salami in a varied climate of fluctuating temperatures and humidity for 30 days. Our salami cgs are a blend of silk, cotton, and collagen. These cgs are more hygienic, more uniform, more breathable, and, most importantly, very easy to peel. OUR TARTUFO: Made with REAL, FRESH truffles from Norcia, Italy...NOT Truffle Salt, Truffle Oil or Truffle flavoring. Oh, and it also has more black truffle (0.75%) than our competitors (0.05%), so you get a richer, earthy, and more aromatic taste.
