Antica Norcineria Viola, Rome
This historic shop, established since 1890, is an absolute must-visit for meat lovers exploring Rome. It is a haven for all things related to cured meats, particularly pork. Here, you will find an extensive selection of prosciutto, salami, and guanciale in various shapes and sizes, sourced from different regions of Italy, including the northern part. The service is highly personalized, and the staff speaks enough English to assist you.
The products offered are of exceptional quality, and it is common for the shop to provide a tasting plate, allowing visitors to sample as many varieties as they desire before making their purchase. It is highly recommended to venture beyond the standard salami and try some new items. For instance, you can experience the exquisite dark sausages made with pork liver, which are a true masterpiece of Roman cuisine and are best enjoyed spread on bread without any cooking. Another delicacy to savor is the soft "ciauscolo" salami, also meant to be spread without cooking, or the delectable "coppa", a cold cut made with a blend of seasoned pork meats and savory jelly.
You have the option to buy these exceptional products in bulk or request custom slicing according to your preference. The shop also offers vacuum sealing for easy transportation, or if you prefer, you can simply purchase fresh bread from a nearby store and create your own mouthwatering sandwiches.
