Published 2024-07-07
Come to Cheesus is taking you on a meat tour of Italy as he tries to find every Italian Cured Meat he can. From Prosciutto to Bresaola to Salami, this video is going to on your next charcuterie board. Dried meats have been a way of survival for thousands of years, what once was a food for story and survival is now luxury and a party in a mouth. Let's take a look around Italy and see the different types of hams, salamis and other cured meats.

  • My boyfriend's family from his father's side comes from Friuli, Northern Italy. Their family name is Zambon, which comes from zampone. Yes, his forefathers were salami makers :D
  • Interesting, even for people who don't eat meat. ;) I think properly smoked meat is going to become much more popular in Europe in the near future after the recent news about a ban on eight widely used artificial smoke flavorings. The EU (after advice of the European Food Safety Authority) wants them replaced with new alternatives because research shows the most use flavorings are carcinogenic or possibly genotoxic. They are giving companies time to develop new methods. In the meantime, sales continue. Many people had no idea. Even the famous Dutch Unox Rookworst (smoke-sausage) is not smoked anymore. I can imagine that many people will consciously seek out meat that is genuinely smoked for that reason.

    One correction, originally Mortadella was made entirely of Horse meat and fat from under the mane.

    I was hoping this video would include Lardo, and at the 10:57 mark, I wasn't disappointed. IMHO, Lardo is food of the Gods. I was introduced to Lardo in 2014 at Ristorante "Il Nido del Corvo" in Greccio, Italy.

    You're missing boudin/budino sausage from Aosta. It's a cured salami with beetroot, potatoes, and spices.
