Finocchiona I.G.P. (1.1kg approx.) SALUMIFICIO GERINI

Finocchiona is a distinctive Tuscan salami known for its coarse cut and characteristic fennel aroma, derived from fennel seeds in the mixture. This PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) salami is stuffed into natural casings and made following traditional Tuscan recipes and regulations, which require the use of fresh meat and natural ingredients. It includes lean pork meat (shoulder and belly), black pepper, crushed black pepper, fennel seeds, and garlic. Finocchiona has a light red colour, a sweet and slightly spicy taste, and a subtle fennel aroma and aftertaste. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages when wild fennel seeds were used as an affordable alternative to expensive pepper.
