Salamini italiani alla cacciatora DOPSalamini italiani alla cacciatora
Salamini italiani alla cacciatora are small salami of minced Italian heavy-pig lean and hard fat, seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic. They are stuffed into casings no wider than 75 mm, dried warm and then matured for at least ten days. The finished salami are no more than 60 mm wide and 350 g in weight.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe specification lists the ingredients and the additive limits but gives no fixed recipe amounts for salt, pepper or garlic; each producer sets them.
Lean pork from striated muscle (shoulder, loin)
From Italian heavy pigs of at least 160 kg (plus or minus 10 %) and at least nine months old; mechanically separated meat is not allowed[disc-2023][arsial]
Hard pork fat (back fat and other firm subcutaneous fat)
Optional nitrate and nitrite, plus ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbateAt most 195 ppm nitrate and 95 ppm nitrite (sodium or potassium salts)
Specification limits. A 2023 amendment request lowers the nitrate cap to 150 ppm, and EU additive law has set its own caps since 9 October 2025 (see safety)[disc-2023]

At a glance
Salamini italiani alla cacciatora are small salami of minced Italian heavy-pig lean and hard fat, seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic. They are stuffed into casings no wider than 75 mm, dried warm and then matured for at least ten days. The finished salami are no more than 60 mm wide and 350 g in weight. Made in 6 steps over 10 days. The longest step, mature in ventilated rooms, takes at least 10 days (Consorzio Cacciatore Italiano 2019) and runs at 10–15 °C (Consorzio Cacciatore Italiano 2019). Lactobacilli and cocci does most of the fermenting.
Cacciatorini are small salami, no more than 60 mm wide and 350 g, and the specification asks for only ten days of maturing, drying included. Accelerated fermentation is not allowed, and the finished pH must stay at 5.3 or above. The specification calls the taste sweet and delicate, never acid.
Sliced or portioned salaminiSlicing and packing must also take place inside the DOP area.
Safety
Salamini are eaten raw, so their safety rests on salt, nitrite or nitrate, competition from lactic bacteria and drying. EU rules treat a ready-to-eat food as unable to support Listeria when its pH is 4.4 or less, its water activity 0.92 or less, or both pH 5.0 or less and water activity 0.94 or less. The specification keeps pH at 5.3 or above, so of those tests only a water activity of 0.92 or less fits it; the rules let other products qualify on scientific justification. A 2023 review names L. monocytogenes and Salmonella as the main microbial hazards in dry fermented meats. It cites an EU report in which fermented sausages had one of the highest L. monocytogenes rates at distribution (3.1 %), and it says nitrite inhibits Clostridium botulinum. Since 9 October 2025 EU law caps added nitrite in non-heat-treated meat products at 80 mg/kg and added nitrate at 90 mg/kg, both as the ions. The nitrate cap is below the specification's 195 ppm of nitrate salt. Its 95 ppm of nitrite salt, about 64 mg/kg as the ion for sodium nitrite, is already within the nitrite cap. These are figures for controlled production, not a home method. Washington State University Extension does not recommend making dry sausage at home, because S. aureus toxin can form if fermentation is not rigidly controlled.
The name comes from the small ration hunters carried in their bags. Tradition dates the salami to the Lombard invasions of northern Italy. Production began in the Lombard hills and spread first to neighbouring regions of the north, then to central Italy. The name appears in Italy's bilateral agreements with France, Germany, Spain and Austria on the protection of geographical names, and it was registered as a DOP on 7 September 2001.
