Red Bear Provisions’s Diablo dry salami is inspired by the bold, rustic flavors of southern Italian salame piccante, made using a traditional recipe from Cosenza. Premium cuts of all-natural whole muscle pork are coarsely ground and seasoned with paprika and red pepper flakes imported from Calabria, delivering warmth and depth without overwhelming heat. Red wine and fennel are added for balance and aromatic complexity, rounding out the spice with subtle sweetness and herbal notes.
The salami is slowly fermented and air-dried for several weeks, allowing the flavors to fully develop and the texture to reach a firm yet tender bite. The result is a well-structured, deeply savory salami with a gentle heat that builds gradually and finishes clean, making it easy to enjoy on its own or as part of a composed charcuterie board.
Based in Chicago, Red Bear Provisions draws inspiration from traditional European techniques while focusing on bold, expressive seasoning and careful craftsmanship, producing salami that is flavor-driven, balanced, and thoughtfully made.
