Finocchiona Salami from Tuscany

Chef's Advice

Finocchiona can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, but it is often served as an appetizer, thinly sliced and accompanied by Tuscan bread, cheese, and sometimes vegetables in oil or fresh. Thanks to its rich but balanced flavor, it pairs well with structured red wines, which enhance its aromatic notes without overpowering them.
