Salame Brianza

Produced exclusively in the northen Italian provinces of Monza and Brianza, Como, Milan and Lecco, salame Brianza is a type of fine-grained, cured pork sausage. It has been produced for centuries, but its gastronomic value wasn't recognised until after the 1970s, when several Lombardian artisan sausage makers became industrial food producers. The particular microclimate of the wider Brianza area greatly contributes to the special qualities of this product.

Salame Brianza has an intense aroma and a delicate, sweet flavor. It is best enjoyed in thick slices, served alongside hot polenta.
