Mastro Calabrese Hot Soppressata Large Flat, 5.5 lb.

Hailing from the "toe" of the Italian boot, Mastro Calabrese Hot Soppressata is not for the faint of heart. This is a spicy, coarse-ground salami that has been flattened into its signature "large flat" shape, which allows for a more even cure and a perfect, wide slice. It’s packed with fiery Calabrian chilies and paprika, giving it a vibrant red color and a heat that builds slowly and beautifully. This is the best spicy Italian meat for a host who wants to add a "punch" to their board. It’s rustic, unapologetic, and incredibly savory. When you serve this, you’re bringing a piece of Southern Italian heat to the table that demands a cold glass of wine and a thick slice of bread. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Angry" Italian Flatbread Top a flatbread with fresh mozzarella, red onions, and thin ribbons of Hot Soppressata. Bake until the meat gets crispy edges and the spicy oils "pool" on the cheese. It’s a zesty quick dinner for friends who love heat. Recipe #2: Spicy Soppressata & Vodka Sauce Finely dice the meat and fry it until crispy before adding it to a creamy tomato vodka sauce. The Calabrian chili in the meat seasons the whole sauce. A high-intensity pasta night favorite. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Hot Soppressata & Ricotta "Fire & Ice" Crostini Top a toast with cool, whipped ricotta and a slice of Hot Soppressata. The creamy cheese tames the heat for a perfectly balanced spicy appetizer. Appetizer #2: Spicy "Salami Chips" Briefly pan-fry slices until they are crispy like a chip. Serve with a cool ranch or blue cheese dip for a modern party snack. Size (Weight): Approx. 5.5 lb. Origin: Canada
