Carnivore Club's Artisan Urbani Foods Salami & Pepperoni

The Carnivore Club sent me another box-o-meat! Check out my previous reviews of the products they sent me.

The Company

This time it came from Urbani Foods, a third generation family-owned food company that sells frozen arancini Risottoballs, Mac & Cheese Balls and craft-dried salami.

The company is in Port Moody, British Columbia, one of our favourite places! They craft their meat in small batches to create an artisan experience. I received their salami, pepperoni and pancetta to product test.

The Pancetta

What a treat to receive their pancetta! A delicious foodie product I have rarely indulged in.

There is a lot of fat in pancetta so I decided the best way to enjoy it would be to…

Fry it up and sprinkle on my weekend perogies! I also had it on a lovely salad and it was delicious. Crisp with tons of flavour. A little of Urbani Foods‘ pancetta went a long way in my kitchen and it was fantastic!

The Salami

I received two kind of salami to try.

One was the Tartufo Salami containing winter black truffle.

“It is almost reminiscent of a dark loamy chocolate.”

We did enjoy this salami but I wish I could have really tasted that winter black truffle. Earthy? Yes. Delicious? Yes. But I was not picking up on that loamy chocolate flavour, unfortunately.

The Sicilian salami with lemon & fennel is definitely a more traditional salami.

We enjoyed it and could taste that it had a different flavour profile but the difference is very subtle.

One thing we noticed right away is that all the meat products were high quality and not greasy, which was a pleasant surprise. Salami can be incredibly greasy.

The Pepperoni

We received two different pepperonis: Ginger Teriyaki and Red Wine Chipotle.

The ginger teriyaki is a flavourful, non-greasy and delicious pepperoni but the ginger teriyaki flavour itself? Subtle!

The red wine chipotle pepperoni on the other hand? Spicy!!! A spiciness that creeps up on you and bites you in the kisser, in a good way.

Foodie Conclusion

Carnivore Club's Artisan Urbani Foods Salami & Pepperoni

Overall, all the meat was fantastic. You can tell it is high quality, made with love and has tons of flavour.

Carnivore Club's Artisan Urbani Foods Salami & Pepperoni

For the most part, we just did not notice a very powerful difference between the flavours. We could tell they were there but if you had said, well, this one has black truffle… I would have been surprised. I like that they have made differing kinds of spiced meats and are clearly masters at their work. I just have to wonder if my palette can do this product justice. Subtle notes can go over this foodie’s head sometimes.

Fantastic quality, delicious products and quite the treat. I give this overall Carnivore Club experience four and a half out of five wooden spoons.
