'Nduja Spicy Spreadable Salami - 4.5 oz

I needed this for a recipe and no store had it and even the YouTube chef said, "if you can't find it in a store try Amazon." So I did. I used it and everything tasted fantastic. Yes I would recommend this.

The taste grows on you, so give it a try multiple times. I can't quite describe the taste of this product. my mom thinks it tastes like spicy salami. I don't. It has a nutty or earthy taste to me. I like it, but it was very different than what I was expecting which was more of a salami taste. I like it, but it probably isn't for everyone. The quality of the product was good. Do a search for Nduja egg toast by pasta grammar for a great recipe that I really enjoyed for frying an egg in nduja instead of butter. Really enhanced the flavor of the nduja.

It's like a liquid salami you can put on a cracker. I know all the cool chefs are cooking with it now, because you have to one up everyone else, but let's be honest- liquid salami is one step away from diarrhea. There, I said it, because it's true. Four stars though because what a weird experience that was.

Yum! Great on toast with cream cheese. Great with arribada pastas.

Texture is not right.

Spreadable, spicy salami?! I was completely charmed by the notion of a deli meat you can smear on crackers or crusty bread. It's as brilliant as Easy Cheese. However I'm not sold on the overall texture. Since this is my first run-in with nduja I'm not sure what how it's supposed to be made. This one seems like they took a soft cured salami in its casing and ran it through a Cuisinart. There are bits of the casing throughout the meat and they're pretty un-chewable. Really takes away from the experience.

I write this review as an individual born and raised in the Mediterranean and now finding himself in the US as an adult migrant. I routinely work in Italy as part of my research and I have grown accustomed to finding Nduja at cheap prices with wonderful flavor. Over these past months, I have searched for a US based seller since this country refuses us the right to bring back pork products. While I admittedly find the price to be high (remember I am accustomed to purchasing this in my local supermarket with no problem), I think this US-made product parallels the Italian original. You get two packages of deliciously hot Nduja that can make countless pasta dishes and numerous impulsive snacks. I'd say that aside from the casing used (the original Nduja is stored in stomachs) and the price, you get about 1 pound of a great product. The flavor is right and these guys seem to be the only worthwhile makers of a wonderful Calabrian culinary heritage. I'm satisfied overall.

Favorite find!! Spreadable sausage? Yes please! I spread it on toast drizzled with honey & was in heaven 😋
