Cloth Aged Salami (Korean Chilli Powder Crust) - 1.7kg apx

Cloth Aged Salami (Korean Chilli Powder Crust) – ~1.7kg

This bold and aromatic salami is crafted using pork cheek, collar, and back fat, blended with chilli, fennel, and pepper for a rich, well-balanced flavour. Aged for two months, it is wrapped in organic linen, allowing for a unique maturation process that enhances its texture and depth of flavour.

The hefty Korean chilli (gochugaru) crust adds an extra layer of texture, subtle heat, and a touch of natural sweetness, making this salami a flavour powerhouse.

Tasting Notes

• Flavour: Deep, savoury pork richness with spicy, smoky, and slightly sweet notes from gochugaru
• Texture: Well-marbled and supple, with a coarse yet tender bite
• Aroma: Fragrant with warm spice, fennel, and aged pork complexity

Serving Suggestions

• Slice thinly and enjoy on a charcuterie board with sharp cheeses and fermented vegetables
• Pair with medium-bodied reds, such as Sangiovese or Tempranillo, to balance the spice
• Use in Korean-inspired dishes, such as bibimbap, rice bowls, or fusion charcuterie plates
• Add to spicy pasta sauces or gourmet sandwiches for an extra kick
