Zoe’s Meats’ Uncured Absinthe Salami Chub is an artisan-cured pork salami known for its bold, unusual flavor profile. It’s made with pork, non-fat dry milk, sea salt, and contains less than 2% of absinthe liqueur and New Mexican hatch chili peppers. The salami is uncured (no added nitrates or nitrites) and is gluten-free, minimally processed with no artificial ingredients.
The absinthe and hatch chiles give it a complex, aromatic taste — the chiles add a spicy, earthy heat, while the absinthe brings an anise-like, herbal depth. The combination is described as “delightful grandeur” and is meant to be enjoyed at your own risk, as it can be a dangerously addictive flavor.
In 2007, Zoe's vision was to build an artisan cured meat company leveraging their ability to connect and communicate with chefs and restaurateurs. They wanted to give chefs access to ingredients that were so good they didn't have to make them in-house from scratch. Zoe's Meats concentration of classic techniques, uncured processing and chef crafted flavor profiles, puts this line in rarefied space.
