Fortuna's Italian Genoa Salami Stick - Authentic Gluten-Free, Nitrate-Free Meat Snack with Soft Texture and Delicious Flavor - Ideal for Charcuterie Boards, 10 oz Stick Containing Garlic and Wine

A very tasty genoa salami. It's approx. 8 in by 1 3/4 in in size weighing apparently 8 - 10 ounces. The casing was not edible, at least for me. It had a grayish opaque pallor that was initially off-putting but that's natural casing. The salami itself is course ground chewy, but not overtly hard nor mushy, so in my view just nice. This is the second Fortuna product I have purchased and have not been disappointed with either.

Nitrates should be a no-no in ALL processed meat. I love salami and these guys deliver great taste without that horrible ingredient, but for a small hunk of tubular meat does it have to cost so much? The price means I will purchase again but not for a while.

Reminds me when I was working at Tony’s Foodland 14 years old Somerville MA.The Italian cold cuts the best. You make a great food product. So this was a treat for us. The cost salami and shipping was 30.94 little too much only complaint. Eating brought back memories. Thank You

It was a very small , extremely hard piece of salami .I could hardly chew it and I could tell it was old. I am 58 years old and have been buying salami for about 40 of those years. I threw this product in the garbage and the trash can probably complained about its prescence too! ! . I usually by Gallo salami made in San Francisco and it is a hard salami also . When one buys hard salami , as in chub form, the trick is to squeeze it and if it is a little soft,buy it. Kind of like you would squeeze an avocado at the grocery store. If it is rock hard it has been hanging around too long. If it gives a little (as a ripe avocado does) It's freshly made. So....I would not recommend buying this venders product. I chose not to return it and take the loss, because I did not want to eat it a second time and be disappointed once more.....thank you and just being honest with my experience with this salami....Drew

It is a very good salami. Arrived quickly!

The stick is pretty small, as it is only 8 oz. That would put it at about $34 a lb. I'd rather have a good porterhouse or ribeye steak. Taste is not as dry as I remembered the ones I used to eat. It tastes a little on the greasy side. Normally any kind of salami or pepperoni would take a toll on my stomach, but this one didn't. I believe it is the sodium nitrates that are the problem. It's a little too expensive except for an occasional treat.

So so good. Making my day better. Might eat the whole thing right now. The flavor is so good.

I have had some real good hard salami before but not as good as this one , I recommend it highly.
