About Calabrese sausage

Calabrese sausage is a traditional Italian pork sausage originating from the Calabria region of Southern Italy. Known for its bold, spicy flavor, it typically includes ground pork seasoned with garlic, fennel seeds, and chili peppers, giving it its signature heat. Often smoked or cured, it boasts a rich, savory profile and vibrant reddish hue from the spices. While Calabrese sausage is a good source of protein, it is also high in fat, sodium, and calories due to its curing process and seasoning. Additionally, some variations may include preservatives to extend shelf life. It serves as a flavorful addition to pasta dishes, pizzas, and antipasto platters but should be enjoyed in moderation, especially as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier option, some producers offer reduced-fat versions or alternatives made with turkey or chicken.
