Sopressata Salame
   	According to old Italian Tradition,
	this is a Salame that is made with 
	coarsely ground cuts of fresh pork.
	Originally, Sopressata was prepared 
	by hand in family kitchens, usually 
	in the country - the "campagna".
	Today,  the quality and flavor of 
	Citterio's Sopressata are authentic -
	every bit as typical of the hand-
	cut, hand-made varieties that were 
	traditionally made in old-country 
	farmhouses and villages.
	
	
	Today, modern techniques enable us
	to do all of the essential preparatory
	work - the fussy trimming, the
	precision grinding and gentle mixing -
	at quicker, more efficient levels.
	On the other hand, such critical 
	steps as seasoning and aging are 
	still conducted in the same, marvelously
	old-fashioned way. The distinctive
	flavor of the meat is brought out in
	the Sopressata by natural, deliberately
	slow aging. Deliciously.
	The seasoning is subtle: black pepper,
	a touch of salt and fresh garlic.
	This rich, satisfying Salame is 
	delicious for a quick snack, in an 
	antipasto or with a hearty, robust 
	cheese (a well-aged Pecorino or 
	Provolone). Accorfing to old-country
	custom, the smaller forms of Sopressata
	are usually cut into thick slices.
