Salami vs. Pepperoni: What’s the Difference, Anyway?

Ever wonder what sets these two Italian meats apart? Salami and pepperoni might be cousins in the cured meat family, but each brings its own unique flair to the table. Salami is the worldly traveller — often made from a mix of pork and seasoned with garlic and herbs, it offers a rich, savoury bite. Pepperoni, on the other hand, is the bold, spicy sibling, packing a smoky punch thanks to its blend of pork, beef, paprika, and chili peppers.

So, what else can you do with them besides pizza and sandwiches?

Let’s go beyond the basics. Toss diced salami into a warm pasta salad with roasted vegetables and a light vinaigrette for a surprising twist. Crisp it up in a skillet or the oven and sprinkle over creamy soups for texture and flavour. Feeling adventurous? Add chopped pepperoni to your breakfast hash or fold it into a cheesy baked dip for a spicy upgrade. You can even mix either (or both!) into savoury muffins or scones for a meaty, flavour-packed surprise your taste buds won’t forget.
