sopressata
Italian dried meat
Sopressata is an Italian dry-cured salami, typically coarsely ground and seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and sometimes fennel or red pepper flakes.
It ranges from mild to spicy depending on regional tradition.
The texture is denser than many salamis, with visible chunks of fat: a charcuterie board with sopressata and aged cheese.
Also spelled soppressata.
