Salama da Sugo PGI is a delicatessen product consisting of a mixture of pork flavored and stuffed into the natural bladder of the pig. After drying and maturing, it is produced in two types: Raw and Cooked.
The raw material intended for the production of the Salama da Sugo PGI must come from pigs whose slaughter age must exceed nine months. Selected cuts of meat such as: schooner, capocollo, bacon, shoulder, tongue and liver, composed in established percentages, with optional addition of undercut. The meat is flavored with selected red wine with aging not exceeding 18 months. In addition to black pepper and coarse sea salt, some spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) can be used, while brandy, grappa or rum can be used individually as partial substitutes for red wine. The cuts are processed manually with the aid of a knife, to allow an accurate trimming. The minced dough - weighing between 1,200 and 2,000 g - is placed inside the pig’s bladder. The bagging operations are carried out manually to ensure the integrity of the bladder that is tied with twine. This is followed by drying and seasoning. In the Cotta type, after the maturing period, the Salama da Sugo PGI is washed with hot water to eliminate the traces of superficial mould that naturally form during maturing. The product is then packaged with or without bladder, whole or in segments of variable weight, in a flexible casing resistant to sterilization temperatures, and sealed to contain the liquid that escapes during cooking. Heat treatment in an autoclave at a temperature between 115 and 121 ºC follows.
The origins of Salama da Sugo PGI can be traced back to the Renaissance period and linked to the court of the Dukes of Este, lords of Ferrara from the twelfth to the seventeenth century, which gave a strong impulse to convivial entertainment. In 1722 a playful poem entitled "La Salameide" was published, in which the author Antonio Frizzi explains in a fantastic way the etymology of the name salama and honors its origins in Ferrara.

It must be served hot, removing the top and extracting the meat with a spoon, or removing the skin entirely and placing it whole, on a cutting board, preferably a conca, to more easily collect the sauce that comes out during cutting. It is served with mashed potatoes, which can be seasoned with red sauce that comes out in the cut. Try it with lentils or beans and cannellini.
