The Italian sub is believed to have originated in the Italian-American communities of the Northeastern United States in the late 19th or early 20th century. Italian immigrants, seeking familiar flavors, combined various Italian cold cuts, cheeses, and condiments on a long roll, drawing inspiration from Italian cuisine and adapting to available ingredients.

Funzionalità Premium
The Italian sub is characterized by a savory and tangy flavor profile, arising from the combination of cured meats, cheeses, and pickled or marinated vegetables, all brought together by a flavorful dressing.
The primary flavors come from the variety of Italian cold cuts such as salami (Genoa, hard salami, or soppressata), capicola (also known as gabagool), mortadella, and prosciutto. These provide salty, savory, and slightly spicy notes. Provolone cheese adds a creamy, mild sharpness, while the acidic tang of pickled peppers, onions, or olive salad cuts through the richness. A vinaigrette dressing, typically made with olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and garlic, ties all the flavors together, contributing brightness and herbal notes.

Ingredient Quality
Use high-quality cold cuts and cheeses from a reputable deli. The better the ingredients, the better the overall flavor of the sub will be.
Bread Choice
Select a sturdy Italian roll or hoagie roll that can hold the ingredients without becoming soggy. A slightly crusty exterior and soft interior are ideal.
Layering Order
Layer the ingredients strategically to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Start with a layer of oil or dressing, followed by a layer of cheese, then the cold cuts, and finally the vegetables and any remaining dressing.
Dressing Preparation
Prepare the vinaigrette dressing in advance to allow the flavors to meld. A simple mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper works well.
