The Italian Art of Salumi – What Makes Our Selection Special in Canberra

by Amy Conroy on February 03, 2025

When it comes to Italian salumi, we’re not just slicing things up – we’re curating an experience.

Here at DeVino Wine and Salumi in Phillip, Canberra, we take our salumi selection as seriously as a Nonna takes her Sunday sauce. From melt-in-your-mouth prosciutto to bold soppressata, we’re all about bringing authentic Italian flavours to your grazing board – no passport required.


What is Salumi, Anyway?

If you’ve ever looked at a charcuterie board and thought, “Yep, that’s just fancy deli meat”, we need to have a chat. Salumi is the Italian art of curing meats, and trust us – it’s an art form.

From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the bustling streets of Bologna, every region in Italy has its own salumi speciality. Here are a few of our favourites:

  • Prosciutto di Parma – Sweet, silky, and just begging to be draped over a wedge of Italian cheese.
  • Soppressata – A little spicy, a little salty, and a whole lot of flavour.
  • Bresaola – Air-dried beef that’s as fancy as it sounds.
  • Guanciale – The secret ingredient in a proper carbonara (step away from the bacon!).


Why Our Salumi is a Cut Above

At DeVino Wine and Salumi, we hand-select the best Italian-imported and locally sourced salumi, so you get the real deal. Whether you’re building a picnic platter, planning a wine and cheese night, or just want to eat prosciutto straight from the packet (no judgement here), we’ve got your back.

 

Pair It Like a Pro

The best way to enjoy salumi? With a good bottle of wine and some delicious cheese. Here’s a cheat sheet:

  • Prosciutto + Prosecco – The bubbles cut through the richness like a dream.
  • Soppressata + Chianti – A bold match for a bold flavour.
  • Bresaola + Nebbiolo – Think smoky, savoury, and perfectly balanced.
