Salame di Canossa, also known as Salame di Castelnuovo Monti, is a traditional Italian cured meat that originates from the Emilia-Romagna region. It is specifically produced in the towns of Canossa and Castelnuovo Monti, which are located in the province of Reggio Emilia. This delicious salami can be found in local specialty food stores and shops in these towns, as well as in larger cities throughout the region.
One popular recipe that features Salame di Canossa is the “Tigelle con Salame,” which consists of small, round flatbreads filled with slices of the salami. Another classic dish is “Tagliatelle al Salame,” which is a pasta dish made with a rich tomato and Salame di Canossa sauce.
Salame di Canossa has been recognized with the PAT (Traditional Agri-Food Product) designation, which signifies its traditional production methods and ties to the local area. It is made with specific specifications, including the use of high-quality pork meat, natural casings, and a careful aging process.
