Though uncooked, salami are not raw; they have been prepared via curing. The term cotto salame refers to salami cooked or smoked before or after curing. This is done to impart a specific flavor but not to cook the meat. Before curing, a cotto salame is still considered raw and is not ready to be eaten. Most kinds of salami made from donkey or ox are considered cotto. Salami are cured in warm, humid conditions in order to encourage growth of the bacteria involved in the fermentation process.
Pork and beef hard salami has slightly fewer calories than plain pork salami. One ounce of pork and beef hard salami gives you about 105 calories, whereas the same amount of pork-only salami contains nearly 115 calories. No matter which one you prefer, the caloric breakdown is about the same.
