Vienna® Beef Soft Salami 2 Lbs. each (3 Pack)

First, this is KOSHER STYLE, not actually kosher, though if you don't need certified kosher, it's not like it contains milk, shellfish, or pork. Second, it comes in a big styrofoam cooler with ice packs. You can freeze the chubs when they arrive and pull them out when you want to hang them. Third, yes, the chubs are strung for hanging. I put two in the freezer and hung the third in my kitchen where I left it for 2 weeks. I think that's like the bare minimum hanging time. it was well wrinkled, but a bit soft in the middle. ("No, *you're* soft in the middle!"). Took the second from the freezer and hung it over a towel to catch any condensation that dripped off, but it wasn't a problem. Hung that for a little over 3 weeks and was happier with the texture. It's not as heavily spiced as some of the kosher salamis I recall from growing up, but it's got more flavor than Hebrew National chubs you can get at the supermarket. Face it, those are just large hot dogs. All in all, it's still too expensive to be an everyday thing, but if you ate this every day your doctor would be very, very unhappy with you. My wife worked on a colon cancer study and basically eating salami is like sending a wedding invitation to someone you think won't attend but will send a gift... there's an off chance they'll actually come. So the price of the salami prevents me from eating it so often I might as well invite that guest to move in with us. Still, it's like a taste of my childhood when I allow myself a few slices. If kosher salami is a fond taste from your childhood and you live in a cultural wasteland like Seattle where supermarket deli counters serve pastrami-flavored roast beef sandwiches on white bread with mayo, this is a worthwhile investment.

The flavor is fantastic. They are great for hanging and drying. After three weeks or so, your salami is perfection. Expensive but worth it!

Vienna beef products never disappoint. I've been eating them for My entire adult life. One of the great things about the salami from Vienna is that when it comes to your home with your order it's delicious right out of the Box. But wait! If you hang them for a while and by that I mean as long as you can wait without eating them 1st, The flavor becomes more concentrated, the texture becomes firmer, And the taste goes through the roof. You end up with a hard salami. All it takes is "won't power" which is in short supply when that salami is hanging.

I grew up eating Vienna products in Chicago and now I spend the winters in Texas so when I found Vienna salami on Amazon it was like a dream come true. There is nothing better than to slice a Vienna salami up and put it on the grill. It doesn’t get better than that. The shipping was fast and the taste of Chicago doesn’t get any better.

Came super fast packaged great and made me wildly happy. Live in lower Alabama and have not had any way to enjoy a salami. Your delivery took me back to the best part of living in Chicago and being able to have just what I wanted at my fingertips. Best taste and value spent this year!!!

This is a horrible product, it is just a big glob of greasy unseasoned meat product. It has the texture of a wiener or frank with no taste. I am pretty sure this is the by-product of the trash part of the cow

The best taste in salami. I'm living in Chicago and there is no better tasting salami around. Product arrive on time and nice and cold. I couldn't wait to open the box. Had lunch and dinner on salami. Now I am thinking about having eggs and salami. If I don't stop I'll have to place an order sooner then I thought. Great product. Unable to buy here in Oklahoma so it's well worth the price.

I'm a transplanted New Yorker now living in Arkansas. I love it here bur the food just isn't the same! I can get Hot Dogs - Hebrew National and Nathans - but no Vienna Beef dogs! There are no places selling salami so I had to turn to Amazon. The Vienna salami was portioned well and priced right....I was able to have salami and eggs for the first time in months! I plan on slicing, vacuum sealing and freezing most of tit for future use.
