    Italian Cold Cuts and Salami 101 | Prosciutto, Mortadella, Salame & More EXPLAINED
    I had so much fun learning about Italian cheese in a previous video ( • Italian CHEESE Explain... ) that I thought we should give the same treatment to Italian cold cuts and salami. Eva is here, of course, to teach me the differences (and similarities) between prosciutto, mortadella, salami, capicollo, bresaola and more!

    I work as a tour guide in Roma (Rome).
    About 10 years ago i was with this couple of American tourists, who after spending the morning at the Vatican Museums proposed me to eat lunch with them.
    I took them to a tipical Roman trattoria, and they brought us a plate of cold cuts first, as an antipasto.
    The lady had the ham, but she was very hesitant about the mortadella (or, as we call it here in Roma, MORTAZZA lol).
    It looked weird, she said.
    I really wanted her to try it out so i said "it is vapourized meat, have a slice"
    And her "eoowww, VAPOURIZED MEAT? No thanks"
    Me then "ma'am, have you ever had hot dog before?"
    "Yes of cours, i love hot dog"
    "Good. So, hot dog is vapourized meat. With the difference that hot dog is filled with the left overs of the worst cuts you can imagine, while mortazza is made with premium italian meat from the food valley."
    "Alright, let me try it"
    She then proceeded to have it every other day stuffed inside a cut open piece or Roman white pizza.

      Maybe because you should have said STEAMED meat, not "vapourized". Unless you wanted to suggest her she had to try a spray of meat. Or dried out and pulverized meat. Me too I would be horrified. Maybe try to learn more of the english language before speaking to a mother tongue?

      But the point is that she was disgusted by the sight of mortadella before i even said that, and the only reason why she would eventually try it was because she saw with my comparison the similarity with the hotdog, the "steamed" meat she already knew and ate.

    This video brought back memories of my Italian grandfather and his cold cuts. He was from Bologna, Italy and moved to America during WW2. He would complain about the "Italian" cold-cuts available in America because they just weren't the same. He had Italian friends or family members send him the 'good stuff' on occasion. I remember eating mortadella and prosciutto when I was younger. I'm now starving! lol

    Both the cheese (formaggio)and cold meat (affettato) episodes were great, but now you have to also do one on bread! Because without good bread you can’t really enjoy the affettati! (some ideas Panne Ferrarese, pagnotta di Sezze etc...) also maybe an episode on agriturismo (maybe the best restaurants unknown to most tourists)
    Great videos I grew up in South Africa and am of Italian decent. I can relate to a-lot of what you say as growing up in the 80’s and even 90’s most of the pasta and Italian products had to be brought in when people visited or from specialist shops. The rest we had to make our selves or improvise as best you could (like using bacon instead of guanciale for carbonara). And I still die a little inside everytime I hear someone has used a supermarket bought carbonara sauce as it is both quicker to make yourself and so much better!
    Keep up the great work and thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!

    As An italian, i want to point Out that there are much more types of prosciutto. The prosciutto di Parma has a denomination of origin; It means that to produce It you have to follow some rules and you must produce It into a specific area, near to the city of Parma. There are others kind of PDO prosciutto crudo, like prosciutto crudo di San Daniele or prosciutto crudo di sauris (North-east), di Cuneo (near to turin), toscano (from tuscany), di Norcia e di carpegna (central italy), jambon de bosses (north-west). All of these are protected by a denomination of origin, a kind of origin mark, and have many different features (place of production, minimum time of ageing, Smoked or not). Prosciutto di montagna o prosciutto crudo nazionale don't have to follow these rules, so we can say that the quality and the price will be lower . The prosciutto cotto instead doesn't have any kind of denomination in italy

Of course, they do the necessary steps to prevent bad things, but overall, it seemed to me that prosciutto cotto has actually an agein process behind it under some regulations. I am not sure if it makes it better or worse quality-wise. However, it is delicious in general.

    So sad that Harper hasn't any references to the taste of prosciutto crudo. Coming from Germany - often referred to as pork-land - I grew up with "raw ham". We have several regional specialties like the famous Black Forest Ham (salted and smoked over fir tree), Westpahlian Bone Ham (cured with the bone left inside), smoked Katen-Schinken (lit.: cottage ham) from the regions Schleswig-Holstein or Ammerland (in Lower saxony) and many more.
    I really love the italian varieties as well. We have in Cologne an italian importer delivering restaurants as well as having a shop for "normal" customers... I'm always fascinated by the vast choice of different long aged hams, not only the original parma, but as well San Daniele or others. Love the "cotto" once as well...sometimes seasoned (e.g. with rosmary)...wonderful!
    Glad you mentioned the "(south)tyrolean speck", which is very popular in Germany as well.
    During spring white asparagus is a big thing in Germany...the best time for having it with a big plate of different hams.

    Well, you guys just covered some of the most common cold cuts used in southern regions. Let's go over some you can find in the north/center part.
    We also have A LOT of other delicious things that are sometimes well known only on regional basis.
    Starting from the northern part we have all sorts of kaminwurz (smoky sausages) made from both pork and deer meet, different kind of speck, carne salada from Trentino, herb-smoked prosciutto and sausage (i.e. from Sauris, FVG), prosciutto San Daniele, soppressa veneta (a big salami with garlic) or, on the western side, salsiccia di Bra and various kind of bresaola.
    Then we have coppa Piacentina, prosciutto di Parma, salame Felino and the more rustic salame gentile and salsiccia secca, the real mortadella (with no pistachos at all) from Bologna and its ancestor, the salame rosa. Btw, we use black pepper instead of peperoncino to season the pancetta, stesa or arrotolata, whatever.
    More, you can enjoy the prosciutto toscano (which is seasoned with more salt and pepper) and the finocchiona from Florence or some lardo di Colonnata (seasoned in marble basins). Or you can have some ciauscolo from Marche spread on a slice of bread, some guanciale from Amatrice (the one you shoud use for Carbonara and Amatriciana) and, maybe, finish with what is not a salami but it's probably the link between north and south: some good slices of porchetta.

      italy have 600 different typical cold cuts!!! Ranging from the Germanic flavors of Trentino Alto Adige and Alto Veneto, to Spanish flavors, to game ... everything !!
      Umbria and Tuscany I believe that alone far exceed the number of Spanish or German cured meats. In Italy there are often unique cold cuts between villages 10 km away.
      For example "la MORTANDELA" (not "mortadella"!!!) Is a certified and unique slow food garrison, produced exclusively in the area of Val di Non in Trentino.
      Throughout the planet it is produced only in a few villages of the Val di Non and only on a totally artisanal level. Here .. dozens of small villages in Italy have unique cold cuts that are impossible to taste elsewhere

    For completeness reasons: capicollo (capocollo) is pretty much made in all Italy, and it's also known by the name of coppa, which is the name that got the DOP registered in Piacenza. It's not from the south only (even tho the spicy version probably is from calabria only, pretty much the same reasoning applies to the pancetta).
    P.s.
    Coincidentally Piacenza happens to have DOP registered for both coppa and pancetta, which are both also DOP in calabria.
    BUT (cold cuts flex incoming) Piacenza also got a DOP on salame, making it the only province with 3 cold cut DOPs

They are gifted with making delicious wines, Tangy Limencello liqueur. The list is endless. The Italians know all about taste. They put so much passion and love in to everything which is what makes their culture and cuisine so exciting and so delicious. Maybe you guys could do a show on some of these specialties?
