Melbourne goes barmy for salami!

Melbourne Salami Festa (Major Sponsor - Home Make It)

Wow! Who knew? It's confirmed, Melbourne's Salami Army is growing! What an amazing turnout for the 2013 Melbourne Salami Festa. Melbourne turned on perfect Spring weather on the 15th September, 2013 as thousands of Melbournians headed down to the Northcote Town Hall to be part of history in the making. 63 homemade salamis were entered, 20,000 slices of salami were tasted, judged and voted on. And what an atmosphere it was! We boogied to the amazingly talented blend of jazz, swing and blues of  The Shuffle Club. We were mesmerised by the hypnotic sounds of La Voce Della Luna with their renditions of tradition folk music. We enjoyed the culinary delights of porchetta rolls, and traditional pizza & pasta.  And we enjoyed crisp Peroni Beer and Prosecco. What more could you want! But there was more!   We were thoroughly entertained by the antics and charm of our very own Frank Bovezza and Steve Lamberto as they facilitated the homemade salami making demonstrations :)

You can check out the highlights from the day on our Facebook Page.  Here's a sneak peak of some of the photos on our album.
