Smoking Goose Spruce and Candy Salami is a Good Food Award–winning pork salame crafted with spruce tips, 18th Street Brewery’s American Pale Ale, Calabrian and pink peppercorns, clove, and lemon peel. The result is a bright, resinous, citrus-kissed flavor with a warm spice backbone, striking the perfect balance between old-world salumi traditions and creative Midwestern craft.
Spruce tips are the soft, young spring growth of spruce trees, traditionally used in Nordic cuisine for their citrusy, piney freshness. Smoking Goose founder Chris Eley discovered their unique flavor on a trip to Alaska, where they’re used to bring lift and brightness to rich dishes. Blended with beer and spices, the spruce tips lend this salami its signature layered complexity.
Smoking Goose is an Indianapolis-based artisanal smokehouse and charcuterie producer founded by Chris and Mollie Eley. Since 2011, they’ve earned national acclaim for their old-school craftsmanship and bold, seasonal flavor profiles. Working with small family farms that raise animals humanely and sustainably, Smoking Goose handcrafts everything in small batches, slow-curing their meats with time-honored methods.
Enjoy Spruce and Candy Salami with hoppy beers or citrus-forward cocktails. Toss thin slices with winter citrus and escarole for a refreshing salad. It pairs beautifully with cheese curds, tamarind, cardamom, mackerel, carrot salad, orange preserves, or earthy bean dishes.
