Nduja Spreadable Salami Spicy 6oz (Variety Pack)

I write this review as an individual born and raised in the Mediterranean and now finding himself in the US as an adult migrant. I routinely work in Italy as part of my research and I have grown accustomed to finding Nduja at cheap prices with wonderful flavor.Over these past months, I have searched for a US based seller since this country refuses us the right to bring back pork products. While I admittedly find the price to be high (remember I am accustomed to purchasing this in my local supermarket with no problem), I think this US-made product parallels the Italian original. You get two packages of deliciously hot Nduja that can make countless pasta dishes and numerous impulsive snacks.I'd say that aside from the casing used (the original Nduja is stored in stomachs) and the price, you get about 1 pound of a great product. The flavor is right and these guys seem to be the only worthwhile makers of a wonderful Calabrian culinary heritage. I'm satisfied overall.

What a different, fun, interesting food. Nduja is new to us and we very much enjoyed it and willbe sharing part of our order with friends and family. I can see continuing to incorporateit into appetizers, homemade pizza, and as a "mystery undertone layer" ingredient to someof our dishes. It really adds depth and richness to the overall flavor of a meal.We did call the makers about best storage practices and expirationand was told the following:- Try to keep the original casing as complete as possible and use it to wrap the open end- Scoop out or slice only what is needed- Keep airtight with plastic wrap or some other type of sealer; there may be some darkening of air-exposed product as it oxidizes, this not a concern and the product will still be good.- Refrigerate- Lifespan/expiration, 6 months or so

The taste grows on you, so give it a try multiple times. I can't quite describe the taste of this product. my mom thinks it tastes like spicy salami. I don't. It has a nutty or earthy taste to me. I like it, but it was very different than what I was expecting which was more of a salami taste. I like it, but it probably isn't for everyone. The quality of the product was good. Do a search for Nduja egg toast by pasta grammar for a great recipe that I really enjoyed for frying an egg in nduja instead of butter. Really enhanced the flavor of the nduja.

Saw it mentioned once on a TV cooking show and it sounded intriguing so I bought some. It's a great spread for crackers or crostini if you like spicy foods. It is a spicy spreadable pepperoni (I'm referring to the American pepperoni, i.e.meat, not the Italian pepperoni, i.e. peppers). The company says "Spreadable Salami," but think instead spreadable pepperoni. I keep it refrigerated but warm to room temperature before trying to spread it. If it weren't somewhat expensive I could get hooked on it.

A very good sausage. Comes wrapped in plastic as shown, and is easy to spread cold, though letting it set at room temperature for a whiles improves it's spreadability.The sausage itself has a nice, smoky, spicy flavor. I use it on pizza, spread with the tomato sauce, but have also used it on pastas and sandwiches. Only one or two ounces of the sausage can flavor the entire pizza or pasta, which is good because (as it's spreadable), it's moderately fatty. The sausage adds a unique flavor and texture to the meal, one that's hard to beat.

I had a dish in London recently on a trip and couldn't place the flavor they used. When I looked at the menu on line the dish had Nduja and I could only find it on Amazon. When it arrived I used it in recreating the dish and it was perfect! Keep in mind this is VERY greasy so you don't need a lot. It has a wonderful spicy flavor with a vinegar note to it which is perfect. It lasts forever in the fridge and can be used in everything from shrimp to bolognese - very versatile. I will definitely be ordering more.

I just spread some nduja on a savory French pastry before heating it in my toaster oven: wonderful! It added a little kick and texture, and I'd call the flavor comfortable. Considering that it only takes a spoonful or two to dress up a basic item (toasted bread, eggs, veggies, etc.) I don't consider it overly expensive at all. Will definitely buy again.

I have to say that I love this stuff. It doesn't necessarily taste like hard salami, and I though I know people use it as a spread, that wasn't really for me, it has a very strong dominating flavor, overpowering to be honest, and it's hot/spicy (which I love). but... Adding to cooked dishes produces a kind of magic (well that's the way I look at it). Add to a Pizza sauce, or mixed into a quick pasta sauce, or as an added flavor to a slow sauce, definitely in a toasted cheese sandwich. You don't really need much, it can be strong, and it is a little oily, so watch how much you usually use with oil. Like anything new, start small and work up.Personally I use it to enhance, not to dominate in, my dishes, it adds another dimension to whatever it's added to. I have lots of ways of adding different structures and flavors to dishes, this one is now near the top of that list.Umami overload :0)Finally I have no idea if it's comparable to that available in Italy, but I don't regard that as a problem I have!
