Finocchiona is the aromatic heart of Tuscany, and The Spotted Trotter captures it perfectly. This salami is defined by the use of toasted fennel seeds and a touch of black pepper, giving it a bright, herbal, and slightly sweet licorice finish. It is the best "garden-style" salami—it feels lighter and more refreshing than smoky meats. Because it comes expertly pre-sliced, you can display those beautiful fennel-studded ribbons across a board in seconds. It’s the "sophisticated cousin" of the salami family, perfect for a sunny afternoon and a glass of white wine. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Tuscan" White Pasta Toss ribbons of Finocchiona into a pasta with garlic, olive oil, and fresh peas. The fennel oils act as a built-in herb profile. A light, elegant family dinner. Recipe #2: Fennel Salami & Goat Cheese Flatbread Top a flatbread with goat cheese, red onion, and Finocchiona. The herbal meat and tangy cheese are a perfect match for a lunch with friends. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Finocchiona & Pecorino Skewers Thread a slice of the salami with a wedge of Pecorino Toscano.
