To make salami is an ancient tradition, it comes from rural culture.

In the past in every farm the peasants raised a pig and in January they butchered it and made salami and meats throughout the year.

In the second postwar period in Umbria there was much poverty and the pig butcher’s day was a great event, because peasants had a lot of food to eat.

To save meats they made various kind of salami, because there weren’t any freezes.

The tradition to make salami was handed on from father to son, today just few people are able to make it using ancient techniques.
