Meats and Sausages
Salami de Arles
There are no spices in this recipe and the flavor of this salami depends entirely on the quality of raw materials and good manufacturing practices. Make sure that beef is well trimmed, without sinews, gristles or fat. The same applies to regular pork trimmings, some fat is acceptable but no sinews and poor quality trimmings.
