CreminelliItalian Artisan Handcrafted Fine Meats, Casalingo Salami, 5.5 Ounce

First, I’m always in the hunt for a nice hard salami with a good flavor. I’ve bought other brands but the consistency from package to package was extremely inconsistent. I bought two of these and they were great, so I bought 4 more which I received today. One of them was so rancid I had to wrap it in plastic before I even threw it away. I was looking for a way to contact the seller in hopes of receiving a replacement or money back. I mean this stuff isn’t cheap. That’s why I’m leaving this review, I couldn’t find a “contact seller” link and I’m not going to ship rancid opened salami back. The expiration date is also dangerously close, like a week out, on the 4 I received. I included a picture in which you can see the black and green covering the casing.

I bought this item from a livestream on Amazon. Creminelli is a brand I had seen/heard of in the store, but hadn’t seen them at the local grocery stores I shop at. I took a flyer and bought the product on Amazon, and it did not disappoint!The meat chub itself is wrapped in like this heavy duty meat wrap that has a nice almost chewiness and hardness to it. Inside, the meat is super tender and juicy. I couldn’t taste the whiskey too much, but it definitely was delicious. I chopped this up over the course of the week as a low carb, high protein dinner appetizer (honestly was tempted to eat the whole thing in a single sitting). Will definitely be buying again, and maybe adding to my Subscribe and Save list. Love this stuff, highly recommend for my meat lovers out there.

Very mild with non-gamey but wonderful flavor. Savory yet subtle. Don't be put off because it is constructed with wild boar. Because of the diet of wild boar they develop a wonderful yet unassuming flavor that is mild and in the case of this salami not overwhelmed by the seasonings. It is almost a shame to call it salami because of the american association of flavor to our common salami. This is way more understated and naturally more flavorful..... more on the sweet side and without the "hot bite" we often think of when we imagine salami. This was our first purchase of this brand of wild boar salami and they now have a customer for life. Best ever with a flavor that almost melts in your mouth at first then expands with a flavor that begs for just one more bite, then another and another........ Next time I will double my order!

This salami is my favorite commercially available salami

Excellent ratio of meat and fat, great mild flavor with a lovely garlic kiss. Absolutely delicious! I recommend this Casalingo Salami to everyone. I used to have to purchase it from artisan shops online, so I was stoked to find it on Amazon. It arrived in great condition and tasted great as always. It's like meat candy!

So I have experience with the product. I always receive this product monthly and order several at a time by subscription over the past year. I've always enjoyed it, and in the past it has always been well within expiration date, a nice dry casing, and tastes great. My order this month is just NASTY! I opened one of them, it was disgustingly slimy, casing sliding off and smelled bad. I said to myself, ok, maybe just one was like this, so I opened another, from a separate order that arrived at the same time, and it was just as disgusting. I looked at the rest of them through the wrapper, none have the white dusted casing and all are slippery within the package, some of the packages were swollen, product off-gassing I have to assume? When I tried to return, it says, sorry product not returnable. I will be sending a message to the seller today, but I am taking this off my auto-subscription. I've never seen such a foul looking and smelling product.

I used to order salami from Creminelli back when they were still selling it directly and you could order it online from their website. The salami would come sent in a foam cooler box with ice packs. It tasted great and was very high quality. And then they stopped selling directly and started using Amazon. The packaging is different, no cooler packs/boxes, the powder usually found on the outside isn’t there and it seems greasier and less dry then I remember it being. The taste is somewhat different, too. It went from being amazing to just okay. Creminelli, if you changed your recipe, please go back to how it was before!

great
