A San Francisco Original
COLUMBUS® Italian Dry Salami has made San Francisco—its city of birth—the salame capital of the U.S. We’ve been making ours since 1917, when our founders adapted a recipe for Milano style Salame. We use only select cuts of pork, cracked black pepper, our signature blend of spices, and burgundy wine—giving it a unique richness and aroma, and a nice bite from the slow curing. Aged 21 to 33 days depending on size.

Very tasty, but gristle is some pieces
Comments about ITALIAN DRY
I like this salami with its peppercorns. But biting into a slice of the salami and finding a sizeable piece of gristle tells me that the company is too aggressive at cutting corners by putting considerable gristle in its product.
NEVER FAILS TO BE ON MY SHOPPING LIST

Product is great, ziplock package is horrible
Comments about ITALIAN DRY
The new ziplock package does not open. It is totally sealed and just rips so the ziplock is useless. Please fix asap. The previous package was better

Comments about ITALIAN DRY
Ive been buying the peppered salami now for a month and it's the best meat I've ever had. I spent 3 years in Europe tasting their salami and they don't beat Columbus Salami. Very Very tasty.
Brings back good memories
Comments about ITALIAN DRY
Columbus salami is the best salami available. Growing up in Marin County we would allways get some good sour dough bread sharp cheddar and Columbus dry salami I moved to oklahoma and missed this so much. The other day I saw Columbus in the local deli. Now I can share the amazing product with my kids and grandkids. We went through 5 pounds in 1 day feeding everyone.
I would never buy again
