Euclid Fish is excited to carry one of our newest lines under the Euclid’s Finest label… Nduja Salumi!
The Nduja Story:
“During
the
spring
of
2010,
Agostino
took
note
that
Nduja,
the
typical
product
of
his
hometown
in
Calabria,
started
to
make
a
big
impact
in
the
Chicago
food
scene.
Being
dissatisfied
with
the
quality
of
the
product
he
was
finding,
he
was
inspired
to
create
the
original
taste
of
his
hometown
and
bring
it
to
the
States.
When
his
father
came
to
visit
from
Italy
that
winter,
they
did
just
that
and
were
elated
with
what
they
created.
Agostino
has
passed
on
the
passion
of
salumi
making
to
his
son,
Tony.
Together,
they
are
Nduja
Artisans.
Making
salumi
has
been
a
tradition
in
their
family
for
more
than
five
generations.
During
the
summers,
they
grew
their
own
sweet
and
spicy
peppers,
stringed
and
sundried
them
for
the
salumi.
Meanwhile,
the
family
pig
was
being
fattened
for
what
would
eventually
be
various
salumi
including
proscuitto,
soppressata,
dried
sausage,
pancetta,
and
of
course
‘Nduja!
With
knowledge
accumulated
over
five
generations,
it
has
culminated
in
a
product
that
tastes
just
as
authentic
as
Spilinga’s,
the
birthplace
of
Nduja.
They
have
done
so
by
assembling
a
master
mix
of
assorted
dried
peppers,
both
local
and
imported,
to
achieve
similar
spice,
heat,
and
flavor
notes
as
the
famed
Calabrian
peppers.
Their
succulent
pork
is
a
blend
of
lean
picnic
shoulder,
fat
back,
and
trim.
The
final
components
of
their
culinary
love
song
to
their
homeland,
includes
Mediterranean
sea
salt
and
natural
lactic
acid
culture.
Nduja is a cured spicy spreadable salumi originally from Calabria. Njuja continues to produce their salumi, as their family has for five generations with the best quality pork and a nice balance of sweet and spicy calabrian peppers.”
