Salami vs. Pepperoni: What’s the Difference, Anyway?

Ever wonder what the difference is between these two Italian meats? Salami and pepperoni might be cousins in the cured meat family, but they each bring their own distinct flair to the table. Salami is the worldly traveler of sorts—often crafted from a blend of pork and seasoned with garlic and herbs, it’s got a rich, savory bite. On the other hand, Pepperoni is typically the bolder, spicier sibling with a smoky kick, thanks to its mix of pork, beef, paprika, and chili peppers.

So, what more can you do with them besides the usual?

Let’s think beyond pizza and sandwiches. Toss some diced salami into a warm pasta salad with roasted veggies and a light vinaigrette for an unexpected twist, or crisp it up in a pan or the oven and use it as a topping for creamy soups. Feeling a little more adventurous? Add chopped pepperoni to your favorite breakfast hash or fold it into a cheesy baked dip for a spicy, savory upgrade. You can even incorporate both into savory muffins or scones for a meaty, flavorful addition that will surprise your taste buds.
