Fra' Mani Toscano Salame is a high-quality cured meat product inspired by the rich Tuscan tradition. Made from carefully selected lean cuts of pork, with the addition of small pieces of white fat, this salame offers the perfect balance between juiciness and firm texture.
Its aroma is enriched with a blend of natural seasonings, including red wine, black pepper, garlic, and sea salt, which together create a distinctive, full-bodied flavor. Aged in a natural casing for 80 days, Toscano Salame reaches optimal maturity, making it an excellent addition to any gourmet selection.
With its rustic appearance and rich taste, this delicacy is an essential part of traditional Italian tables and pairs perfectly with a glass of full-bodied Sangiovese wine, high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and hard cheeses such as Pecorino-Romano.
