Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Cut the pork shoulder and fatback into small chunks, approximately 2-3 cm in size.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    In a large bowl, mix the pork shoulder and fatback with sea salt, crushed black peppercorns, and minced garlic cloves. Ensure the meat is well coated with the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Add the Wine

    Pour in the red wine and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Casings

    Rinse the natural hog casings in cold water. Fit them onto a sausage stuffer and carefully fill each casing with the meat mixture, avoiding air pockets. Tie off the ends securely.

  5. 5

    Cure the Salami

    Hang the stuffed salami in a cool, dry place with good airflow for about 2-3 weeks to cure, depending on the desired dryness and flavor.

  6. 6

    Store or Serve

    Once cured, slice and serve the Salame Felino as a part of a charcuterie board, or store it in a cool, dark place for future use.
