Finocchiona is a Tuscan salame, whose name comes from "finocchio" or fennel, which is used to flavor the pork used to make this sausage. Legend says that a Tuscan peasant boy stole a fresh salami and hid it in a wild fennel field. When he returned for it, it had absorbed the fennel aromas. A Tuscan favorite, it's dry-cured to develop its rich aroma, the fennel seeds and other spices add layers of flavor to the creamy sausage.
This rich salame is delicious as a quick snack, on an antipasti plate, perfect with flavorful cheeses, and served with robust Hermann wines and Hermann Wurst Haus Beers.
Shelf-stable, no refrigeration required. Includes 1 - 8 oz. chub in vacuum package.
