Toscano Salame

We call this salame “Toscano” because Florence fennel (”finocchio” in Italian) grows wild in the Tuscan hills and is closely associated with the regional cuisine. Fennel pollen conveys a slightly licorice-like aromatic intensity that has made it the pork enhancer of choice for generations. toscano salame.jpg
