Greußener Salami

In the world of salami connoisseurs, Greußener salami has been a well-known name for almost 100 years. The Greußener Salami Company was founded in 1864 by master butcher Carl Auene from the town of Greußen in Thuringia, and word of this excellent salami soon spread throughout the region.

The salami has a coarse grain dotted with coarse black pepper, and its hearty flavor is accentuated with garlic. In addition to Greußener salami, which is made from pork, the same company also produces salamis made with wild boar, venison, and poultry.

They are seasoned with black pepper, garlic, paprika, chili, or juniper. Individual versions include salamis with a coating of herbs or pepper, mold-ripened salamis, and salamis in parmesan crust.
