Sopressata can be made with many different ingredients and in many variations depending on which region it was made. Our Sweet Sopressata is a milder, yet full-flavored, dry sausage seasoned with black pepper, fresh garlic and complementary spices.

What is the difference between sopressata and salami?
There are a few significant differences between sopressata and salami. Traditionally, sopressata uses leaner cuts of pork for a dryer texture than salami, which uses fattier meats that are chewier. Sopressata is more robust in flavor with more seasoning than the typical salami, which is milder. Sopressata is made with coarser ground cuts of pork, instead of the finely ground cuts of pork of salami. This gives sopressata a meatier, heartier texture.
What is the difference between sweet sopressata and hot sopressata?
The biggest difference between Hot Sopressata and Sweet Sopressata is the level of heat in each. Hot Sopressata is made with hot chili peppers and whole peppercorns for a spicier flavor than Sweet Sopressata, which is considered to be zesty, not spicy, in flavor.
