Campania Sandwich: Finocchiona PGI, Mozzarella di Bufala and Hazelnuts

This ultra-savory sandwich shines with fennel-infused salame from Salumeria Monte San Savino. Finocchiona PGI has its origins in medieval Tuscany, when foods were flavored and preserved with fennel (finocchio in Italian) instead of expensive black pepper. It is prepared from ground lean and fatty pork belly mixed with salt, fennel seeds, pepper and garlic.
