Columbus Low Sodium Italian Dry Salame, 2 x 16 oz

Columbus Italian Dry Salame, Sliced (16 oz, 2-count) is crafted using a traditional dry-curing process and a classic Old-World ingredient profile. The salame begins with pork, which provides the rich, savory foundation and firm texture. Salt is added for seasoning and preservation, while spices and garlic develop the signature Italian flavor that deepens as the salame cures.

A small amount of dextrose is included to support the fermentation process, and lactic acid starter culture is used to create the salame’s characteristic tang and ensure consistent curing. To maintain color and food safety during aging, sodium nitrite is used in minimal amounts. The result is a well-balanced, robust dry salame with a classic cured-meat finish.
