CELEBRATING ALL MONTH LONG!
NATIONAL SALAMI DAY
OCEANSIDE, Calif. — Salami lovers unite; today is National Salami Day. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Oceanside to meet the county's King of Salami. Just when you thought you knew everything about San Diego County, there is so much meat left on the bone. Olli Colmignoli comes from a long line of Italian salami makers. "I was born in Rome. My father did this, my grandfather did this, my great grandfather did this," said Olli. He is the founder and president of Olli Salumeria. We visited his 88,000 square foot salami processing facility in Oceanside.

our story
Over Four Generations of Artisanal Slow-Cured History
The quality of Olli Salumeria salumi is directly affected by three main factors; meat, ingredients, and method of production, which we have perfected over the years. Our salumi making takes a unique and old-world approach to all three of these factors. In doing so, we have created a product that we believe in and has a tangible difference from more traditional salumi found in the USA. With Olli, we aim to create an experience that recreates what a person would eat in Italy. This experience is a fresh tasting salami that is sweeter with a less acidic taste. A salami that had time to develop its complex meat flavor through a slow cure production cycle, becomes a salami that is not just flavored with spices, but with a combination of method, meat, and culture.
