Russian salted fat, also known as Salo, is a traditional dish in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. It is made from fatty pork that is marinated with salt and spices. In Eastern Europe, people prefer marinating the meat with salt and spices, while in Western Europe, smoking is favored.
Unlike Vietnamese fat toppings, Russian salo is not fried in oil or smoked. Traditional Russian salo has very little or no meat and is marinated with salt, garlic, pepper, and other spices. It can be eaten raw, typically served with bread and onions.
