Antico Nero d'Aspromonte’s Antica 'Nduja is a traditional, spreadable spicy salami made from the prized black pigs of Aspromonte, an indigenous breed raised in the wild Calabrian mountains. Crafted using ancestral recipes, this ‘nduja blends selected pork cuts with Calabrian chili peppers and sea salt, then is naturally fermented and aged in natural casings.
Its bold, smoky heat and rich, creamy texture make it a versatile delicacy - perfect spread on warm bread, stirred into pasta, or used to enhance sauces. The use of heritage breeds and slow artisanal methods ensures exceptional depth of flavor and authenticity.
