Origins and characteristics of Spianata Piccante
Spicy spianata is a cured meat typical of Southern Italy, particularly Calabria, also known as schiacciata piccante (spicy flatbread) for its flat, elongated shape. It's made with finely ground pork, a well-balanced mix of lean and fatty cuts, and seasoned with chili pepper and sometimes fennel seeds. After being stuffed, the spianata is pressed for several days and aged until it achieves its characteristic orange color and bold flavor.
It's a very versatile cured meat: it can be enjoyed on its own, thinly sliced, or as an ingredient in sandwiches, pizzas, and appetizers. Thanks to its intense aroma and balanced spiciness, spianata is popular throughout Italy and often chosen as an alternative to the more well-known round salami.
