Tradiční lovecký salám

Lovecký salám or lovecká saláma is a special dark brown salami that's well known in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic as a traditional delicacy with a flat, rectangular shape and a distinctive flavor.

The origin of the salami can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century when it was made during winter in the Czech Republic. Today it is a popular product made all year round according to traditional recipes and methods of preparation. It is produced from a mixture of beef and pork with the addition of ground black pepper, sugar, garlic, ground cloves, and collagen casings.

The process of cold smoking gives the lovecký salám its interesting aroma. The flavor of lovecký salám can be described as very spicy and salty. It is usually served with local cheeses and a glass of beer.
