Salame di Varzi is a PDO raw salami of fresh pork with 15–30 kg of fat per 100 kg of lean, minced through a 12 mm plate and seasoned with sea salt, black peppercorns and an infusion of garlic in red wine. It is stuffed into pig casing, tied in a close mesh and matured in airy rooms for at least 30 to 180 days, depending on its size.

Salame di Varzi is a PDO raw salami of fresh pork with 15–30 kg of fat per 100 kg of lean, minced through a 12 mm plate and seasoned with sea salt, black peppercorns and an infusion of garlic in red wine. It is stuffed into pig casing, tied in a close mesh and matured in airy rooms for at least 30 to 180 days, depending on its size. Made in 5 steps over 37 days – 38 days. The longest step, mature, takes at least 30 days (European Commission 2025). Salt is 2–2.5 % (MASAF decree of 3 February 2025). Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus, the dominant lactic acid bacteria apart from the starters, and Staphylococcus xylosus, which dominated the coagulase-negative staphylococci, in three Italian PDO fermented sausages studied together (Varzi, Brianza and Piacentino); Varzi and Brianza were made with microbial starters does most of the fermenting.
Salame di Varzi is minced coarser (12 mm) than Salame Brianza (4–8 mm) and seasoned with a garlic and red wine infusion. Its largest form, the Cucito, has a double casing and is matured for at least 180 days.
Sottocrespone a budello sempliceSingle casing, 1–2 kg; at least 120 days.

Safety
The specification limits nitrate and nitrite to the legal maximum and bans frozen or preserved meat. No pH or water activity limit is set in the documents read. These are figures for controlled production, not a home method. Washington State University Extension does not recommend making dry sausage at home, because S. aureus toxin can form if fermentation is not rigidly controlled.
Registered as an EU PDO in 1996 (Regulation (EC) No 1107/96). A 2025 standard amendment added the smallest size, 0.3–0.5 kg, matured for at least 30 days.
