Romanian Brand Sibiu Salami Short 0.83 lbs.

In 1885, an Italian named Filippo Dozzi emigrated to Romania to work as a bricklayer. Besides being a bricklayer, Dozzi had also a passion for sausages. He noted that weather conditions of Sinaia were favorable for the production of dry sausages. In 1910, Dozzi decided to buy a building in Sinaia that housed a restaurant, a wine cellar and a hotel, where he founded his company. Production of salami started and became quickly a success and a luxury product. Dozzi began selling his sausage under the name of salam de iarnă (winter salami), and for exports in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was affixed the stamp "Customs of Sibiu". Thus, the product became known as Salam de Sibiu. The name winter salami was used only in Romania and Hungary. Nowadays, the Salam de Sibiu is produced in Sinaia, Sibiu, Bacău, Călărași, Feldioara, and Filipeștii de Pădure. In 2014, more than 3,000 tons were produced.
