If you’ve never tried bison before, now’s the time to discover why this lean, flavorful meat is gaining popularity among health-conscious food lovers and charcuterie enthusiasts alike. At Angel’s Salumi & Truffles, we proudly offer an artisanal Bison Salumi crafted with 100% North American Bison—a unique, pork-free twist on traditional charcuterie that’s as healthy as it is delicious.

Are Bison and Buffalo the Same?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions, and the answer is no—bison and buffalo are not the same animal. While the terms are often used interchangeably in North America, true buffalo are native to Africa and Asia (like the Cape buffalo and water buffalo), whereas bison are native to North America and Europe. American Bison have large humps on their shoulders, thick fur, and thrive in colder climates—making them especially well-suited to sustainable ranching practices in the U.S. and Canada.

What Does Bison Meat Taste Like?

Bison offers a clean, slightly sweet flavor that's less gamey than other exotic meats and leaner than beef. It has a rich, satisfying taste without the heaviness of fattier red meats, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. When turned into salumi, bison takes on a beautifully complex character, enhanced by aging, seasoning, and traditional curing techniques.

Our Bison Salumi delivers a bold yet refined flavor profile with subtle spice and a delicate texture. It pairs beautifully with hard cheeses, pickled vegetables, and bold red wines—or enjoy it on its own as a protein-packed snack.

Why Is Bison Better Than Beef?

While both meats have their place on the table, many people are turning to bison as a healthier alternative to beef. Here’s why:

• Leaner Protein: Bison is naturally lower in fat and calories compared to beef, making it ideal for those watching their cholesterol or trying to eat clean.

• Rich in Nutrients: It’s a great source of iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids—nutrients that support energy, immunity, and overall health.

• More Humane & Sustainable: Bison are typically raised in wide open pastures with minimal human intervention. This translates to a more ethical, environmentally friendly meat option.
