What is the difference between Genoa salami and hard salami?

There are many differences between Genoa Salami and what is known as “hard salami.” To start, Genoa Salami is a product of Genoa, Italy, whereas hard salami is thought to have originated in central Europe. Besides that, the ingredients in each vary widely. Genoa Salami is made with a base of coarsely ground pork (as its main meat), but also beef and sometimes veal. Hard salami is made solely with beef. The main difference in flavor is that hard salami is a smoked product (sometimes artificially so), while Genoa Salami is cured, but not smoked. Because of its curing methods and ingredients, Genoa Salami boasts a more delicate savory flavor. Hard salami is more smoky and robust. Lastly, the texture of each meat is very different, as well. Hard salami can be described as more dry and meaty. On the other hand, Genoa Salami is more tender and moist.

What is the difference between Genoa salami and soppressata?

This difference in meat creates a more moist and tender, almost chewy, texture in the Genoa Salami; whereas, sopressata is more dry. Sopressata is also more heavily seasoned and so the resulting flavor is much spicier and zesty, unlike Genoa Salami with its mild, savory flavor. The most obvious difference between the two is that sopressata has a distinct flattened oblong shape, unlike the cylindrical form of Genoa Salami.
