Observations

How long does cream cheese salama keep?
It is recommended to consume it within 5 days when stored in the refrigerator and in an airtight container.

Can I substitute prosciutto?
Absolutely. Use squares of bacon (already cooked), salami, ham, etc. If you prefer, remove it to make it vegetarian.

What are the accompaniments for cream cheese salami?
Serve with toast, fresh bread and grissinis, for example.

Suggestions for other flavors:
Apricot usually pleases most guests. However, if you prefer, use other dried fruits such as raisins, dates, pineapple and others.
Instead of almonds, you could use pieces of pistachio, cashew nuts, walnuts, among others.
Parsley has a more neutral flavor than other aromatic herbs, but rosemary, chives and thyme are also suggestions.
