Saucisson Sec Salami

The artisan meat world is exploding with incredible producers making small-batch charcuterie from local, heritage breed animals. This Saucisson Sec from Il Porcellino Salumi in Denver is one of my new favorites: a traditional French-style pork salami with garlic, pepper and red wine.

Where producers might get creative with obscure ingredients to make their charcuterie stand out, this salami went for true, straightforward pork flavor. And hit the mark.
