National Salami Day History:
Historically, salami was popular among Southern, Eastern, and Central European peasants, but has now become easily tied to Italy and the Mediterranean.
The name Salami even comes from the Italian word ‘salame,’ which means to make something salty. Salami is the plural version of the word ‘salame’ in Italian.
While salami’s beginnings are uncertain, the Romans may have introduced methods used today. However we can credit the modern Europe for evolving it and making it popular all across the world especially by the Italians.
The Salami Appreciation Society organized the National Salami Day, and it was first celebrated in the year 2006 in Henrico and Virginia. Ever since then, it has been celebrated on September 7 annually in the country.
National Salami Day Significance:
Salami is mostly made of pork but can be made from beef, wild boar, goose, venison, or even duck for unique variations. It’s a lean, mean, cured, and fermented dish and it’s world-famous and also contains many health benefits as well.
Along with the taste variations of salami, methods, recipes, and even fermentation times differ across the globe. Typically, salami is made by grinding meat to a fine texture and then flavored by adding spices or herbs.
Some of the most popular flavorings include garlic, white pepper, vinegar, and even wine. The meat blend is then air-cured in either pork or beef casing and is aged between 30 to 90 days or longer.
And today salami is one of the most consumed food item in the world especially as a flavoring agent for other dishes as it adds a taste to the already existing tasty dishes and enhances it even more and as a result people gets a very delightful taste experience. Hence it definitely deserves to have a day for itself.
