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.
