SOPRESSATA- ALL NATURAL, NITRATE & GLUTEN FREE NATURALLY Sopressata is a coarser grind pork salami . Here we add whole peppercorns, and a hint of garlic mixed with lean natural pork. We also shorten the drying time to about 8 weeks so it is a little softer and creamy texture-melts in your mouth. We DO NOT use nitrates or nitrites with exception to the natural occurring in salt and spices.
