Buon Appetito! Finnochiona is a delicious Italian salami.
Finnochiona is an Italian, cigar style salami made with pinot noir (red wine), fennel, garlic, and our humanely-raised, heritage pork for a mild and aromatic flavor.
Slice the salami thin and pair with provolone or goat cheese, crackers, and roasted red pepper for a delicious charcuterie board. Finnochiona is also great as a pizza topping!

Is the casing edible? Yes! The casing is made naturally from pig and cow intestines. The salami is inoculated with a benign form of penicillium during fermentation to prevent noxious molds from growing. If you prefer not to eat it, it is easy to peel off and discard, instead.
How long will the salami last? It is shelf stable and will last up to 6 months and is best kept in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. The producer notes, "We have brought ours on week-long backpacking and canoe trips and found the salami to hold up wonderfully." In the presence of oxygen, the mold will continue to grow and the salami can begin to oxidize and can continue to dry. Both will affect the taste, texture, and smell of the salami.
