Frequently asked questions
How much does each salami weigh?
How much does each salami weigh?
Each stick is 5 oz — the traditional artisan size — and makes about 5 servings. During our multi-week dry-curing process, salami naturally loses 30–40% of its original weight as moisture evaporates. What’s left is concentrated flavor, richness, and texture packed into every 5 oz stick.
Why is your salami more expensive than store-bought?
Why is your salami more expensive than store-bought?
Great question. Here’s how we compare:
- Gastros Salami → about $3.20 per ounce
- Olympia Provisions → about $4.00 per ounce

We’re priced below or equal to other premium salami brands, while using 100% pasture-raised heritage Berkshire pork — a meat so premium it’s served in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Mass brands use fillers, additives, and quick-curing shortcuts. Gastros salami is:
- Crafted through a traditional multi-week fermentation and curing process (not rushed in days).
- Made in small batches, by hand.
- Free from fillers, nitrates, nitrites, GMOs, and junk.
You’re paying for the world’s best pork, made the right way — and still getting better value than other premium salami brands.

Do I need to remove the casing?
Do I need to remove the casing?
Nope! Unlike most salami, our natural casing is removed after the curing process, before packaging. That means all you have to do is slice and enjoy — no peeling, no waste, just ready-to-eat artisanal salami.
Why does the size, look, or texture vary slightly?
Why does the size, look, or texture vary slightly?
This is the beauty of small-batch, artisanal salami. Each batch is handmade, air-dried, and crafted without industrial shortcuts. Variation in texture or appearance is part of the authenticity — and what makes it better than “cookie-cutter” factory salami.
