Salame Ettore is a unique salami of the organic line Primavera by Pedrazzoli, which is produced with only organic meat of Italian pigs bred in free-range farms.

Over the years,  salami has been the protagonist of an important development in the Italian culinary tradition. Every region can boast various types of salami with different denominations, according to the area of production, the type of grain or the ingredients that it contains. From the most famous denominations, like “Salame Napoli” with a fine grain, “Milano” with a rice-sized grain, “Salame Ungherese” that is slightly smoked, to many regional specialties, like “Finocchiona Toscana”, “Soppressa Calabrese” or “Felino” from the province of Parma. And for Ettore’s production, Salumificio Pedrazzoli takes inspiration precisely from “Felino”.

Ettore is produced with first quality meat of pigs bred in our organic free-range farms. It is minced in medium-sized grain and it is filled into a natural bowel called “gentile”. The mixture of spices, with which the pig’s meat is flavoured, is made of salt, pepper (in whole grains or crushed). The process of filling is made carefully to avoid the creation of air pockets. Also,  seasoning is rigorously controlled because of the large size of this salami that has a high level of humidity to drain.  A proper time of seasoning (at least 45 days) allows the perfect mixing of the fat and the lean parts of the meat.

Long shape and a small diameter, tenderness and a delicate, sweet and fragrant taste are Ettore’s most particular features. It is cut rigorously with a knife and served in combination with hard-dough bread.

During the cut, the bowel should not be removed to allow the external scent to penetrate the product. To obtain larger slices, we suggest to cut it from the bottom to the top side, in an oblique direction.

Combine Ettore with a good glass of fresh Lambrusco or another Italian sparkling wine, like Prosecco di Valdobbiadene or Franciacorta Saten. It can also match perfectly with an organic artisan beer.
