“Bastone del nonno” (grandpa’s cane) is a lean salami which was created to cater to the increasing demand for a salami with no cubes of fatback, which are usually added to the Tuscan salami. It is made from lean cuts of Italian pigs, which are meticulously selected, finely minced, seasoned according to the traditional recipe and filled in non-edible casing. Once the salami has been filled, it looks like a cane used by old people to help them move around. That’s where it got its name “grandpa’s cane”.

The “bastone del nonno” (grandpa’s cane) is available in a 300-g piece; it is ideal as a starter, as filling for a sandwich or a focaccia bread or to finish off a meal. It is also a perfect snack for when you are feeling a little peckish.
