#salami Skilandis is a high quality, cured and cold-smoked pork meat product made throughout Lithuania. Pork and lard are coarsely diced by hand, and after the meat has matured, it is stuffed into a pig's stomach casing and bound by rope giving the final product its distinctive, rounded shape.
Additionally, spices such as garlic, black pepper, caraway, bay leaves, nutmeg, or juniper berries are added to the meat mixture. The flavor of this sausage is acidic, salty, smoky, mildly spicy and savory, with a unique aroma that develops during the long process of maturing and drying.
The texture is hard, while the color of the cross-section is pink to dark red, with visible white fat pieces throughout the lean meat. This Lithuanian delicacy is often served at festivals and on special occasions such as weddings or business meetings.
The sausage is usually thinly sliced and enjoyed with wholemeal bread.
