Q: WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT OLLI SALAMI PACKAGING?
Our packaging isn’t hand-wrapped, but therein lies the secret to the amazing taste and texture of our salami. Our equipment seals each salami inside the airtight translucent film that keeps the salami fresh – in the store and at home. It keeps the salami from slowly drying out and getting hard and unpleasant to eat while it’s in a store waiting to be purchased.
Once removed from the outer packaging, the salami shows its beautiful, powdery rind and string-tied ends.
Another bonus – our labels are bright and colorful, too!
Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF THE SALAMI THAT I’M ABOUT TO EAT IS GOOD OR IF IT HAS EXCESSIVE MOLD?
