Salami Day
Salami is cured sausage that has been fermented and air-dried. Various types of salami are made in Italy, France, Hungary, Germany, and Spain. Varieties are differentiated by the coarseness or fineness of the chopped meat as well as the size and style of the casing.
Although the exact origin of salami is unknown, there is evidence that fermented sausage has been made in the Mediterranean region for more than 2,000 years. It became the preferred method of preserving meat for the Romans and Greeks, and it was also popular among peasants in Italy because it can be stored at room temperature for up to ten years without going bad.

The way in which salami is fermented has many natural health benefits associated with it. For example, it contains lactic acid bacteria, which can help maintain a healthy digestive system. To celebrate Salami Day, enjoy some delicious salami on a sandwich, in a salad, or just eat it plain!
