Citterio Fresco - Genoa Salame & Provolone Cheese

Citterio Fresco - Genoa Salame & Provolone Cheese is a compact, refrigerated combo aimed at shoppers seeking easy, Italian-flavored convenience. You’ll typically find it in the deli/refrigerated prepared foods aisle near sliced deli meats, packaged cheeses, antipasto kits and ready-made charcuterie trays. It reads like a pantry shortcut for casual entertaining: thinly sliced Genoa salame with its classic garlicky, savory tang paired with mild, semi-firm provolone—ready to layer into a panino, top a salad or serve on a picnic board. The brand leans on Italian heritage ("1878 Milano") and artisanal cues, positioning itself toward adults who want an authentic, slightly upscale everyday indulgence without the work—foodies, busy families, and professionals who appreciate quick meal solutions. Label claims are modest: “gluten free,” “cultured pasteurized milk,” and nods to natural spices; there’s no organic certification or child-focused branding. The product is vacuum-style packaged in a small 6 oz tray to preserve color and freshness, encouraging ritual use—pull from the fridge, arrange on bread or a plate, and share. In plain terms, it combines a cured, preservative-stabilized salame with a traditionally made cheese: the salame includes curing agents and antioxidants while the provolone lists few ingredients. Sensory notes: the salame is slightly oily, chewy and savory with garlic and spice, while the provolone is smooth, sliceable and milder; together they create a balanced, salty pairing. Nutrition cues on-pack (about 80 calories and roughly 380 mg sodium per serving) remind shoppers this is a flavorful, higher-sodium convenience item.
