Calabrese salami comes in two flavors: mild (dolce) and hot (piccante). Mild Calabrese salami is typically made with ground pork, salt, pepper and red wine that comes from local vineyards. Some recipes may include wild fennel seeds and Pepe Rosso Dolce (sweet Calabrian Paprika) and exclude wine. Hot salami includes Pepe Rosso Piccante (hot Calabrian Paprika). Calabrese salami is all about a few simple flavors and high quality pork.
