Method
Finocchiona Preparation
Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork shoulder and pork fatback. Mix well.

Cure the Finocchiona
Hang the stuffed sausages in a cool, dry place (ideally around 60°F/15°C) for 2-3 weeks to cure.
Slice and Serve
Once cured, slice the finocchiona and serve with cheese, bread, and olives.
