Salami Genoa is made from pork and beef and is similar to Salami Milano. Both incorporate different proportions of raw materials. Some typical combinations: 50/30/20, 40/40/20 (this recipe) or 40/30/30. Salami Genoa is also known as Salami di Alessandra. Salami Milano is chopped somewhat finer than Salami Genoa.

The following spice and herb combination can be found in some recipes:

spices: 4 parts coriander, 3 parts mace, 2 parts allspice, 1 part fennel

herbs: 3 parts marjoram, 1 part thyme, 1 part basil.

To make 5 kg sausage about 7 g of spices and 4 g of herbs are needed.

Some recipes ask for the addition of red wine and you may add around 120 ml (1/2 cup).
