What Cheese Tastes Good With Pepperoni?
Any kind of cheese pairs well with pepperoni. We like mozzarella because its delicate flavor perfectly complements the spiciness of pepperoni. Other great options are Swiss, cheddar, fontina, parmesan, cheddar jack and goat cheese.
Is Raw Pepperoni Safe To Eat?
Yes. Pepperoni is cured and fermented. During the curing process, any harmful bacteria are killed.
Is Pepperoni And Salami the Same Thing?
Salami is a generic name that’s used for all types of salami. Pepperoni refers to a specific type of American-style salami that’s cured, fermented, and air-dried. Salami has more of a rich spiced flavor, while pepperoni has a smoky and peppery flavor.
