Salami made from pure meat products is not so expensive – Armenian producer

YEREVAN. – The salami made from pure meat products is more expensive, but not too expensive.

Armenia’s Bari Samaratsi [Good Samaritan] Company commercial Director Vahe Harutyunyan told the aforesaid to news reporters. 

He noted that when assessing the minimum value of pure meat salamis, the ingredients do not necessarily require a high price. 

“There are meat products whose ingredients require the use of other products. But, nonetheless, these products are fully permitted by the law,” Harutyunyan stated.

He added that the salami prices in Armenia can range from 1,000-2,000 drams/kg.

“[But] if we use local meat, the product will be more expensive.

“We also have expensive salamis; dietary [ones], for example; it costs 3,000 drams/kg,” Vahe Harutyunyan said.

To note, in line with the current exchange rate, USD 1 is equivalent to approximately AMD 406.
