Battistoni Classic Italian Hard Salami, 8oz

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good or better than depending on taste.

Great flavor! Big peppercorns in it.

Great taste, a bit expensive but everything is now. Would definitely purchase this again.

I don't know what this stuff is, but it most certainly is NOT hard salami. It's more like summer sausage, but a lot more greasy, and with more seasoning.

Love this!

I lived in Europe for 28 years, and have been to Italy numerous times. If you tried to sell this in Italy as an Italian Salami, you would be out of business in no time. This thing is terrible. It's not a hard salami to begin with, it's more like a summer sausage. I know a thing or two about smoking meat, this is not smoked, it probably has been rubbed with liquid smoke, or liquid smoke has been added to it for flavor. I should have read more of the details about this product before ordering it. I did after I received it and tried it, it even says "German Style'. Well, i have never even heard of a German style Italian salami before! Your neighborhood supermarket probably has a better Italian salami than this, so don't waste your money. Seriously, this is really bad!PS. I have been a Director of Food & Beverage for 24 years, so I obviously know more about food then most people.

Tastes amazing but far too expensive

I grew up in the borderland of Denmark/Germany where smoked, soft sausages are treasured, and they are not called "salami" and they are soft. This is the closest I have come and I don't understand why it is sold as a "hard salami". If you don't expect a "hard Italian salami" you might find this one delicious.
