This Fennel salame or Finocchiona is made by Gelli Salumi from near Siena in Tuscany. Our best selling salame, made from premium quality local pork with the addition of wild fennel seeds and aromatic Tuscan herbs. It is expertly prepared using timeless Tuscan artisan curing processes by the maestro himself, 80 year old Signor Gelli. (We've been to visit Signor Gelli at his workshop on numerous occasions and after well over half a century of working with cured meats, his boyish enthusiasm as he speaks about his latest batch of creations is contagious and enthralling to behold. Great character!)

It has a soft texture and really does melt in your mouth. The herbs and wild fennel extend their flavours and combine perfectly with the lean pork during the curing process to produce a stunning version of this Tuscan classic. Guaranteed hit as part of a platter of antipasti at the dinner table and makes wonderful sandwiches as well.

From Certaldo, near Siena in Tuscany.
