Spicy salame with Japanese-style funky chili-citrus paste
This KOSHO salame is made with the bright, fiery Japanese condiment of the same name. Late each summer, Short Creek Meat combines all the ripe hot chilis they can find with piles and piles (mountains, really!) of citrus zest. They salt it all down and let it mellow, slightly, until all the big, brash flavors somehow meld into a harmonious whole. This is a salame to savor on its own or, if you’re inclined toward excess, perhaps as un apéro with some little Picholine olives.
Made with pork raised on family farms in the Northeast, including pork from Short Creek's own pasture-raised non-GMO-fed heritage breed hogs.
