Salumeria Biellese is a historic Italian deli in Manhattan, New York City, established in 1925. It is located on 8th Avenue and 29th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood.
In 1925, two friends from the Northern Italian Province of Biella opened the salumeria, an Italian store where fresh meats are processed and sold as salumi . [1] [2] Originally the store was known as Italian Salumeria Biellese-Groceries and Charcuterie, the deli's original location was in 8th Avenue and 28th Street, in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. [3] [4] It produced Italian dry cured salted meats such as salame (cured or cooked stuffed in an intestine casing), capocollo (cured neck meat cooked in both spicy and non spicy manner), mortadella (Cooked, baloney like meat with large fat chunks), zampino (cooked, salami like meat, stuffed in the pork skin of the leg casing rather than an intestine casing), [5] testa (head cheese, made of all scraps mixed with gelatine then stuffed in a casing), sausages (salame like meat, stuffed in small and large intestine casings), and other deli items. [6] Salumeria Biellese has also been supplying various restaurants with sausages, and also prepared cooked meats such as roast beef, roast pork, sausages in tomato sauce, etc.
Today, Salumeria Biellese has been relocated to the corner of 8th Avenue and 29th Street, one block north from the original location. The deli has introduced seating for those who chose to dine in. The menu includes home-cooked meals, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, and more. [7]
The owners expanded their production line by opening a factory in New Jersey. The partners also opened an Italian Restaurant called Biricchino in 260 West 29th Street, Manhattan. [8] This business grew with the growing population of New York City and surrounding areas. In 2010, Salumeria Biellese was selected as a recipient in the Slow food NYC with a seal of approval. [9] [10] In 2025, this business will be reaching its 100th year anniversary in the same area as on 8th Avenue and 29th street in Manhattan. [11]
A sausage is a type of meat product usually made from ground meat—often pork, beef, or poultry—along with salt, spices and other flavourings. Other ingredients, such as grains or breadcrumbs may be included as fillers or extenders.
Salami is a cured sausage consisting of fermented and air-dried meat, typically pork. Historically, salami was popular among Southern, Eastern, and Central European peasants because it can be stored at room temperature for up to 45 days once cut, supplementing a potentially meager or inconsistent supply of fresh meat. Countries and regions across Europe make their own traditional varieties of salami.
A blood sausage is a sausage filled with blood that is cooked or dried and mixed with a filler until it is thick enough to solidify when cooled. Most commonly, the blood of pigs, sheep, lamb, cow, chicken, or goose is used.
Chorizo is a type of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula. It is made in many national and regional varieties in several countries on different continents. Some of these varieties are quite different from each other, occasionally leading to confusion or disagreements over the names and identities of the products in question.
Traditionally, a delicatessen or deli is a retail establishment that sells a selection of fine, exotic, or foreign prepared foods. Delicatessens originated in Germany during the 18th century and spread to the United States in the mid-19th century. European immigrants to the United States, especially Ashkenazi Jews, popularized the delicatessen in U.S. culture beginning in the late 19th century. Today, many large retail stores like supermarkets have deli sections.
Soppressata is an Italian dry salume. Although there are many variations, two principal types are made: a cured dry sausage typical of Basilicata, Apulia, and Calabria, and a very different uncured salami, made in Tuscany and Liguria. It is still part of southern Italian cultural heritage that local people slaughter the pig themselves and use it all, with nothing going to waste, using some parts to make cured meats including soppressata. Soppressata is sometimes prepared using ham.
Cervelat, also cervelas, servelat or zervelat, is a sausage produced in Switzerland, France and parts of Germany. The recipe and preparation of the sausage vary regionally.
