Finocchiona is a typical Tuscan sausage made with ground pork, flavored with fennel seeds and soaked in red wine. It is a variation on salami that supposedly owes its origins to a thief at a fair near the town of Prato, who stole a fresh salami and hid it in a stand of wild fennel. When he returned for it he discovered it had absorbed the aromas of its hiding place and had become fit for the Gods. Finocchiona comes from pigs bred without gluten and lactose.
