A SICILIAN COCOA SPECIALTY.
Sliceable. Unexpected. Meant to be shared.
In Italy, particularly in Sicily, this specialty is known as Salame al Cioccolato — a cocoa and cookie confection shaped like cured meat and sliced at the table. Not-A-Salami draws from this tradition, offering a distinctive, textural cocoa experience designed to be shared. Despite its appearance, there is no meat — only rich cocoa and a distinctive, textural crumb in every slice.

Fabio Ficano“What I love about Not-A-Salami: The wrap, the paper, the look of it when open. The smell, like a cookie my mom used to make. The way it slices. The tantalizing way you can’t tell what is in it. The taste is SO good! I loved it! Could NOT stop eating it!.”
Lucinda Buxton Marin, Pastry ChefIn my travels to Italy, I discovered Chocolate Salami and fell in love with it. While in Portugal, it also became my go to dessert. I became my own expert in what I feel is the very best Chocolate Salami. Living in San Francisco, I have only had it one time and it was quite marginal in comparison to Europe. On a Sunday morning I met Eva and her beautiful daughter at a bake sale and saw Not-A-Salami. I tried it and could not believe my taste buds. The most amazing, decadent, delicious, with a beautiful finish, Chocolate Salami I have ever tasted. Of course it helps that Eva is from Sicily and uses the finest chocolate. This Not-A-Salami gets the highest rating of all!
