Calabresa is a flavorful, cured sausage commonly used in Brazilian cuisine, though its roots trace back to Italian traditions. Made primarily from pork and seasoned with garlic, paprika, and spices, it boasts a savory, smoky profile that enhances dishes like pizzas, feijoadas, and pasta sauces. While calabresa is rich in protein, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, which can impact heart health if consumed excessively. Providing energy and essential nutrients like iron, its cured preparation also means it lacks preservatives commonly found in processed foods. Moderation is key when enjoying calabresa, as its bold taste makes it a popular favorite, but balancing it with fiber-rich vegetables or whole grains can create a more nutritious meal.
