When it comes to charcuterie, every country has its specialties and the way the food is processed and used can be very different from one country to another, whether it is in Italy, Spain or France just to name a few.

Italy is a country that can offer various types of charcuterie depending on the meat and the region.
If you look at salami for instance, you will see that it exists many different types of salami depending on the area of Italy you are in.
The salami Napoletano that comes from Naples is usually made from pork mixed with fat and peperoncino. Experts in the field say that this salami has a sweet and apparently strong flavor.
If you go to up closer to the Alps, you will come across the salami Milanese which is produced around Milano in Northern Italy. Probably one of the most well known Italian salami, this salami is made from the same percentage of minced pork and lean beef, to which they add pepper, garlic and also white wine. This type of charcuterie is said to have sweet and aromatic flavours and is usually a bit less peppery than other Italian salamis.

Cured meat is just another ...
... example of the diversity in meat in Italy.
Parma ham or Proscuitto Di Parma as they say in Italy is probably the most famous Italian ham of all. Its colours, taste and odours make it the most popular cured ham of Italy. Even if a lot of people outside of Italy use it to add flavour to a dish, most people in Parma and in Italy serve it on its own usually sliced very thin and enjoy it as an appetizer.
It exist other types of cured meat like proscuitto Di San Daniele which comes from a small village in the foothill of the Apls. This prosciutto usually is sweeter and darker than Parma ham.

It exist many other different types of ham in Italy so we will not go through all of them, but next time you visit Italy, go to local shops from time to time to see if you can buy some local ham and other types of local Italian food.

Italian food shops doing Italian food delivery, Italian food online and online delicatessen usually have these products in store in the United Kingdom and in the rest of Europe. You just need to search a little to find an Italian shop offering proper Italian food like Panettone.
