Question on "salumi" and "salami".

Do I have this right?

"Salumi" is an Italian word for cured or preserved meats. Most are pork, but some are beef, lamb or other meats. Equals "charcuterie" in French.

"Salami" is a type of salumi describing sausages that are dry-cured, i.e. salted, fermented and hung to dry.

Thanks, Bob

Or to put it another way, all salami is salume, but not all salume is salami.

We grew up referring to "salumi" as cold cuts in general, "salame" as a type of cold cut ("salume"), and, just to confuse the issue more, "soppressata" as a type of "salame."

("Salame," singular; "salami," plural. In English, "salami," "salamis." In German, "Es ist mir alles Wurst." )
