🌿 Finocchiona Salami – A Taste of Tuscany
An ancient recipe, rich in tradition and flavour
The story of Finocchiona stretches back to the Middle Ages, when Tuscan farmers used fennel seeds — abundant in the fields of Tuscany — as a substitute for the rare and costly pepper. From this simple yet ingenious choice came the name Finocchiona, derived from finocchio, the Italian word for fennel.
Crafted from a careful blend of pork cuts — including neck, shoulder, ham trimmings, rump, lean belly, collar, and flank — this salami is seasoned with salt, peppercorns, garlic, and of course, fennel seeds. The result is a delicately aromatic salami with a distinctive flavour that balances savoury richness with a subtle, herbaceous sweetness.
