i live in Hungary, home of salamis of all kinds.

i have taken all types local salamis, nothing special, just pop into the local super market, buy what ever you feel like, stick it in a baggie and go whereever you want.

I have spent 10 days in blazing hot Croatia with no refrigiration and had slama and cheese be completely fine!

I have taken the week long train from here to China, again, no fridge and it was summer, there was no problem!!!!

Salami is fine, no need for the diced stuff, unless you like it diced. I prefer the whole stick, no pre packed, pre sliced, pre dieced stuff for me.

I have some peperoni in the pantry that I got in the US in the summer, just opened it, no problem. no refrigiration!

Salami is made to last, and that it does.
