A Taste of Calabria — The Story Behind Calabrese Salami

Calabria — the sun-baked "toe" of Italy's boot — is famous for two things: its love of pork and its devotion to chilli. For generations, Calabrian families have cured salami through the cooler months, seasoning it with the region's beloved peperoncino so every slice carries a gentle, warming heat.

Our Calabrese Salami honours that tradition, made here in Australia from free-range pork, red wine and chilli, and slowly cured in small batches the way it has always been done. It's not just spicy salami — it's a style with centuries of heritage behind it.

• Want more heat? The Godfather Pepperoni brings a bolder, pizza-ready kick, and the Bum Burner is for genuine chilli lovers.
• Want less heat? Cacciatore delivers classic Italian spice with gentler warmth, and the Danish Salami has zero chilli.
• Building a board? Calabrese is the ideal "middle" salami — enough character to stand out, balanced enough that everyone comes back for a second slice. Browse the full range or mix and match with our bundle discounts.
