Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Salami

What makes Gastros salami different?

We craft small-batch salami the old-school way — by hand, using heritage Berkshire pork from small American farms. No GMOs. No antibiotics. No mystery meat. Just traditional dry-curing techniques, bold flavors, and real ingredients.

Where do you source your meat?

All of our pork is ethically raised on sustainable U.S. farms. Our spices and seasonings are chosen for purity and flavor — nothing artificial.

Is your salami shelf-stable?

Yes. Our salami is dry-cured and shelf-stable — no refrigeration needed until opened. Just store it in a cool, dry place.

How should I store it after opening?

Wrap your salami in butcher or wax paper and store it in the fridge. Avoid plastic wrap — it traps moisture and can affect texture.

What casing do you use?

We use a natural beef fibrous casing, which helps the salami dry evenly and hold its traditional shape.

What flavors do you offer?

We rotate a variety of handcrafted flavors, including:

  • Red Wine & Garlic

  • Calabrian Chili

  • Bourbon & Bacon

  • Fennel & White Wine

  • Cacao & Chili (sold out… for now)

Each flavor is bold, balanced, and built for serious taste.
