Things worth knowing
- One slice (12.3 g) has about 41 kcal (173 kJ), and three slices (37 g) about 124 kcal (520 kJ) with around 640 mg of sodium, over a quarter of the Daily Value.
- Dry or hard salami is more concentrated because it has lost more water: hard pork salami has about 407 kcal per 100 g and Italian pork salami about 425.
- Pepperoni, a dry-cured cousin, is higher still at about 504 kcal per 100 g, with 46 g of fat. Thin slices make it easy to underestimate.
- Per 100 g, cooked salami provides about 1.5 µg of vitamin B12 (63% DV) and 31 µg of selenium (57% DV), alongside 9 g of saturated fat.
