Need help in identifying a specific italian salami/sausage for pizza - Ethnic women cooking pizza in kitchen

I came across a very intense and savory salami recently at a great pizzeria in Frankfurt (Germany). The pizza guys however are from Napoli and sell their amazing and traditional pizza since ages with a salami I have never seen somewhere else and which I could not identify up until now.

Does anyone have an idea, what type of salami is used here (see pictures below)? They call it salami but it doesn't have to be a salami in a narrow sense. It is very finely ground and looks rather like a typical sausage (like mortadella/lyoner etc.) when cooked and raw.

I would be very happy about any hint that helps to identify the name of this specific salami.

Best Answer

Salami is a generic term referring to all sorts of salt cured or cooked sausage, from a variety of countries and cultures. My guess is that pictured is German fleischwirst or extrawurst (Austrian cousin). The Italian version is mortadella, but typically has white chunks of fat and pistachio nuts.

True salumi (as opposed to the more general use of the term) are cured meats made from a whole cut of an animal, usually a shoulder or thigh. The most famous of these Italian cold cuts is prosciutto. Salami (singular: salame) are a specific type of salumi that are air dried, smoked or salted and left to age.
