About Calabresa sausage

Calabresa sausage is a flavorful, cured pork sausage originating from Brazil, inspired by Italian culinary traditions. It boasts a robust, smoky profile with a hint of spice, thanks to seasonings like garlic, black pepper, and paprika. Widely used in Brazilian cuisine, it's a key ingredient in dishes like feijoada (a hearty black bean stew) or simply grilled and served with sides. Nutritionally, Calabresa is rich in protein and iron, essential for muscle repair and oxygen transportation in the body. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation to support heart health. Enjoyed best as part of a balanced diet, this versatile sausage provides bold flavor but should be paired with fresh vegetables, whole grains, and moderation to create a nutritious meal.
