Soppressata di Calabria DOPSoppressata di Calabria
Lean pork from the shoulder, ham and fillet is minced medium with back fat, salt, black pepper and often wine and red pepper, then stuffed into pig casing, hand-tied and slightly flattened. It matures naturally for at least 45 days into a red, slightly flattened salami whose slice is compact and tends to soft.

Amounts from a sourceThe specification fixes the cuts, the fat share and the minimum maturing time, but not the salt or pepper amounts.
Lean pork from shoulder, ham and fillet

At a glance
Lean pork from the shoulder, ham and fillet is minced medium with back fat, salt, black pepper and often wine and red pepper, then stuffed into pig casing, hand-tied and slightly flattened. It matures naturally for at least 45 days into a red, slightly flattened salami whose slice is compact and tends to soft. Made in 6 steps over 45 days. The longest step, mature naturally, takes at least 45 days (Ministero dell'agricoltura).
Soppressata di Calabria is pressed into a slightly flattened shape and uses Calabrian heavy pigs, lean from the shoulder, ham and fillet, and 4–15 % back fat. It must mature naturally for at least 45 days.
PiccanteHot red pepper or hot pepper cream in the mix.
DolceSweet red pepper.
BiancaNo red pepper.
Safety
In one study of Southern Italian sausages, homemade soppressata and salsiccia had more biogenic amines than industrial ones, most likely because industrial makers use starter cultures. The specification allows nitrate and nitrite only within legal limits. The steps here describe 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.
MASAF says the first sure written record of cured-meat making in Calabria is the 1691 book Della Calabria Illustrata, where Padre Giovanni Fiore da Cropani lists "Suppressate" among the salted meats. The name was registered as a DOP by Commission Regulation (EC) No 134/98 of 20 January 1998.
