Finocchiona is a traditional Tuscan salami made from finely ground pork, seasoned with fennel seeds, black pepper, and sometimes garlic. Its name derives from "finocchio," the Italian word for fennel, reflecting its aromatic flavor profile. Finocchiona is typically characterized by a rich, savory taste, with a slightly sweet note from the fennel. It is often enjoyed sliced thin as part of antipasto platters, in sandwiches, or paired with cheeses and wines, showcasing the culinary heritage of Tuscany.
