Salami Sfilsetta is a product made out of fresh and mature pig meats. It is taken from the part between the culatello and the fiocchetto, which is lean and slightly sinewy. It is minced to a medium size with a fair amount of fatty bacon strips which confer to the product softness, fragrance and sweetness. It must be of a bright red colour when sliced and the fat must be pure white and well blended with the mixture. The flavour must be sweet and delicate, with a characteristic fragrance conditioned by the ageing period. The minced meats are seasoned with salt, pepper and natural flavourings in accordance with age-old secret recipes, and then encased in pig gut with its fat partially removed with vinegar and white wine.
