Cold cuts in Italy are referred to as Salumi. This term can cover a vast array of Italian cured meats but a few include salami, prosciutto, pancetta and sausage.
The combination of one or more of these salty, smoky meats and a few additional ingredients can create a delicious and satisfying sandwich. Top it all off with mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and a bit of Italian crunch with a sprinkle of Umbria nut & spice blend.
