Salami we think of as slices. And as slices it is wonderful for it's robust flavor. It is this flavor that makes it more than just a sandwich. Think of small cubes, slices of slices, in pasta, in salad, pizza, tortilla, mac'n'cheese, and in your next omelette!

And eating this Nostrano today reminded me how great, great salami is. We get so used to the pre-packaged stuff we forget that the good is really good! And I mean in every way. The real truth is that with this salame there is no unpleasant leftover taste of the unknown. And that is why this or any Fra'mani is worth eating!

Nostrano means "our own," and this is Fra' Mani's unique expression of a classic Northern Italian salame. Seasoned simply with sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic and white wine, it is a touch milder than the salametto, yet still tangy and flavorful.

Each Nostrano is tied by hand in a basket weave pattern. It is easily sliced thinly or thickly with a good sharp knife, and it's ideal for a party, a hungry family or as an addition to a large salumi platter.

Fra' Mani pork comes from family farmers committed to the well-being of their animals and their land. The hogs are never given antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, growth-promoting agents or meat by-products. They eat only the finest grains and natural feed.

This old-fashioned way to raise hogs produces pork of outstanding quality, which is the essential ingredient in all Fra' Mani salumi.

Fra' Mani dry salami are made from the finest-quality fresh pork and natural hog casings. Hand-tied with natural twine and slowly mold ripened. Extended aging in the Fra' Mani cantina di stagionatura for highly-developed flavor and aroma.
