Salami History

Did you know that salami has roots in Ancient Rome? The term comes from “salsum,” meaning salted in Italian. Our ancient ancestors preserved meat by salting it, which kept bacteria at bay. 

The art of butchery was a demanding profession back in Roman times and the Middle Ages, long before canning meat was even possible. Countries like Turkey, Russia, and Hungary each developed their own unique sausage recipes using local spices and seasonings.

Although the butcher profession saw a decline after World War II, the global demand for salami brought about mass production. 

So, whether you’re serving it up at a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal at home, my homemade gluten-free healthy chicken salami is sure to be a hit!

Salami Tips

 Dry chicken entirely before placing it in the food processor; otherwise, the meat mixture will be very loose.

• Use thick aluminum foil only to avoid any leakage while boiling the salami.
• Let the salami cool down completely before cutting.
• Store in the freezer in an airtight container (freeze for up to a month).
