• Q: How do you peel salame?

    1. Slice off the end of the salame.
    2. Make a shallow slit down the center. Don’t cut too deep so it doesn’t cut into the meat.
    3. Peel back the edges of the casing and pull it back to the point where you’ll be slicing to.
    4. The salame is now ready to be sliced and served!

  • Q: Your products aren’t available locally. How can I get my local store to carry your products?

    You can help make it happen! Download and print out the Please Carry Olli™ Salame! letter and give it to the manager of your local store.

  • Q: What is the white stuff on the outside of my salame?

    The salame’s casing is covered in a powdery dusting of benign white mold, which is removed before eating. This is a “good” type of mold, which helps cure the salame and fend off evil, nasty bacteria.

  • Q: How should I store salame?

    Although our salame products are shelf stable at room temperature, and you may have bought it this way, we would recommend refrigerating our salame before and after opening.  After opening simply place unused portion in a zip-lock bag or wrap with plastic wrap.

  • Q: What is Olli salame made from?

    Our salame is made from high-quality pork that comes from pasture-raised pigs raised on family farms. The color of the meat is a deeper mahogany color as compared to the more pinkish colored pork you may be familiar with. The flavor is earthy and meaty and really tastes awesome. But, don’t take our word for it – renown chefs and other folk are saying good things about our salame.

  • Q: Are your products gluten-free?

    Yes, all Olli Salumeria products are 100% gluten-free.

  • Q: What is special about Olli™ salame packaging?

    Our packaging isn’t hand-wrapped, but therein lies the secret to the amazing taste and texture of our salame. Our equipment seals each salame inside airtight translucent film that keeps the salame fresh – in the store and at home. It keeps the salame from slowly drying out and getting hard and unpleasant to eat while it’s in a store waiting to be purchased.

    Once removed from the outer packaging, the salame shows its beautiful, powdery rind and string-tied ends.

    Another bonus – our labels are bright and colorful, too!
