Black Kassel Mustard Seed Dry Aged Salami 2.6lb

Mustard seed salami — whole yellow mustard seeds worked through a dry-aged pork salami, so every slice is flecked with them and carries a mild, nutty heat. Cold-smoked over hardwood and aged slowly, like the rest of the Black Kassel range.

• Whole stick, weighed at the counter
• Dry aged and naturally cold-smoked
• No artificial colours or flavours
• Product of Canada

Eating it

It wants rye bread and a sharp pickle, and it is the one salami on the board that does not need mustard beside it. Thin slices; the seeds pop between the teeth.

Allergens — read this if mustard matters to you

Piller's print "free of all major food allergens" and list milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Mustard is not on that American list, but this salami is made with mustard seed — and mustard is a declarable allergen in Canada and Europe. If you react to mustard, this is not for you, whatever the front of the pack says. Ring the shop on (707) 527-0319 if you need the current pack read to you.

Ingredients

Pork, salt, dehydrated pork stock, mustard seeds, dextrose, glucono delta lactone, corn syrup solids, spices and spice extracts, sugar, sodium ascorbate, lactic acid starter culture, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, natural smoke.

Keeping it

The label says keep refrigerated, and the fridge is where it belongs once you get it home — but it is a dry-aged salami in a sealed casing and it travels perfectly well. Once cut, wrap the face and refrigerate.
