Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Ciauscolo is a soft, spreadable fermented salame from the Marche. Fatty pork belly, shoulder and trimmings are ground two or three times down to 2–3 mm, seasoned with salt, black pepper, wine and garlic, stuffed into natural gut, dried briefly and matured for at least 15 days at 8–18 °C. It must stay at pH 4.8 or higher and never taste acidic.

At a glance
Ciauscolo is a soft, spreadable fermented salame from the Marche. Fatty pork belly, shoulder and trimmings are ground two or three times down to 2–3 mm, seasoned with salt, black pepper, wine and garlic, stuffed into natural gut, dried briefly and matured for at least 15 days at 8–18 °C. It must stay at pH 4.8 or higher and never taste acidic. Made in 6 steps over 22 days – 33 days. The longest step, mature, takes at least 15 days (Ministero dell'agricoltura 2025) and runs at 8–18 °C (Ministero dell'agricoltura 2025). Lactic acid bacteria (more than 1 × 10^7 CFU/g required during ageing); counts passed 8 log CFU/g after 15 days in one study and Staphylococcus species do most of the fermenting.
Ciauscolo is spread on bread rather than sliced. Its fat content (32–46 %) and very fine grind keep it soft, and the specification sets a lower pH limit of 4.8 so it never turns sour.

Safety
Biogenic amines rise most in the first 15 days of ripening, mainly tyramine. In one study an added starter culture made little difference to the amine content. This is soft raw pork eaten without cooking. Curing, drying and smoking alone do not consistently kill Trichinella worms in pork (CDC). CDC tells people who are pregnant, 65 or older or have a weakened immune system to avoid unheated fermented or dry sausages, or to heat them until steaming hot.
Hazards the sources name: Biogenic amines, mainly tyramine, putrescine and cadaverine, rising most in the first 15 days.
A price list of October 1851 in the notarial archive of Camerino lists Ciauscolo by name. The name is said to come from "ciabusculum", a small snack. PGI by Regulation (EC) 729/2009; the specification was amended in 2025.
