Soppressata is a traditional Italian cured salami made from coarsely ground pork, though variations may include beef. It originates from southern Italy, particularly regions like Calabria, Apulia, and Basilicata. The meat is typically seasoned with salt, black pepper, and sometimes red pepper flakes or garlic, then encased and aged for several weeks to develop its distinct flavor. Soppressata is rich in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, zinc, and iron. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process and fat content, so portion control is recommended. While it is a flavorful addition to antipasti platters, sandwiches, or charcuterie boards, it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
