Pepperoni is an American variety of spicy salami fabricated from cured pork and beefiness seasoned with paprika or other chili pepper.^[one]

Prior to cooking, pepperoni is characteristically soft, slightly smoky, and brilliant reddish.^[1] Thinly sliced pepperoni is one of the nearly popular pizza toppings in American pizzerias.^[2]

Etymology [edit]

The term "pepperoni" is a borrowing of peperoni, the plural of peperone, the Italian word for bell pepper. The beginning use of "pepperoni" to refer to a sausage dates to 1919.^[1] In Italian, the word peperoncino refers to hot and spicy peppers.

History [edit]

Pepperoni, an Italian-American creation,^[1] is a cured dry sausage, with similarities to the spicy salamis of southern Italy on which it is based, such every bit salsiccia or soppressata. The main differences are that pepperoni is less spicy, has a finer grain (akin to spiceless salami from Milan), is usually softer in texture, and is usually produced with the use of an artificial casing.

Pepperoni is fabricated from pork or from a mixture of pork and beef.^[iii] Turkey meat is too normally used as a substitute, but the use of poultry in pepperoni must exist appropriately labeled in the United States.^[4]

Curing with nitrates or nitrites (usually used in modernistic curing agents to protect against botulism and other forms of microbiological disuse) also contributes to pepperoni's reddish color, by reacting with heme in the myoglobin of the proteinaceous components of the meat.^[5]
