This delicious salami can be found in various stores and shops in these areas, such as the local butcher shops and specialty food stores.
One popular recipe that features Salame di Frattula is the “Salame di Frattula Crostini.” To make this appetizer, thinly slice the salami and place it on toasted bread slices. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Another recipe is the “Salame di Frattula Pasta,” where the salami is diced and sautéed with garlic, cherry tomatoes, and chili flakes, then tossed with cooked pasta.
