Pepperoni
Pepperoni is a cured, fermented sausage traditionally made from a blend of pork and beef seasoned with paprika, chili peppers, and garlic. This Italian-American charcuterie staple is smoked and air-dried, developing its signature spicy, smoky flavor and firm yet slightly chewy texture when cooked. While rich in protein, it contains high levels of sodium and saturated fats due to its curing process, making portion awareness key for balanced consumption. It’s most widely recognized as a pizza topping but also enhances sandwiches, pasta dishes, and charcuterie boards.
