THE ORIGIN
Salame Felino’s name derives from the place where it is produced, the village of Felino, near Parma in Emilia Romagna region. At 607 feet from the sea level, it has a mild and windy climate, perfect for salumi curing. Over time this microclimate has allowed the use of less salt than usual which was originally the only preservative available to avoid unwanted fermentation, therefore making food very salty. Salame Felino has a very ancient history, dating back to the 1st century D.C. as evidenced by many references of that time. It was indeed a very appreciated salami among Italian aristocratic courts of the city. Historical documents of 1766 recorded a pig census in the Marquisate of Felino and a well – attended market for pig and processed meat trading.

THE NAME
SALAME
From “als”, the Latin root for “salt” then turned into “sal”. Salt indeed was the very first ingredient used for food preservation.
