What animal does salami come from?

Answer 1

Salami is the generic term for a dried sausage made with salt cured meat and fat. In general it is made with pork or beef but it can also be made with horse meat or with donkey meat. The last is an expensive version which can certainly be bought on markets in the south west of France and in the Basque country. It could be made with venison or goat or sheep meat but I can't recall seeing goat or sheep salami. That's not to say that they don't exist.

Answer 2

Originally, it was made from donkey or mule, specifically the back of the thighs and hyper-pectoral (just behind the ribs) muscles, but now, it is often the case that it is made of pork, with added flavourings to make it taste slightly more like the real thing. A perfect example of this is pepperami. Hope that answered your question!

Other varieties of salami are based on beef, goat or venison.

Answer 3
