Salami With Fennel Seeds - Finocchiona,Italy Salumificio Lombardi price supplier

This salami is made according to our old family recipe.   The main feature of this salami is the use of fennel seeds.  Finocchiona has been  introduced since the medieval period.  In ancient times, pepper was very precious because it was imported from the Far East.  Whereas fennel seeds were locally produced and where they were in abundance.  It is a typical product from Florence and Siena.  Now Finocchiona has become a Tuscan classic.  It is a ''must'' item in a Tuscan antipasto platter.  It is cured and air-dried for 30 to 45 days.  Our Finocchiona comes in all sizes - 500g, 1.5kgs, 3kgs, 5kgs and 15kgs.  Finocchiona is a soft and not too dried salami.  When slice, it should brittle a little and sometimes it is also called Sbriciolona.
