Dry sausage is a cured meat product known for its rich flavor and long shelf life, commonly enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, particularly in European and Mediterranean traditions. Made from ground meat, typically pork or beef, it's seasoned with spices, herbs, and salt before undergoing a drying and curing process. This removes moisture, enhances flavor, and preserves the sausage. Variations may include garlic, paprika, fennel, or wine, depending on regional recipes. Nutritionally, dry sausage is a concentrated source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 and iron. However, its high sodium and fat content, especially saturated fat, makes moderation key. Some varieties may include preservatives like nitrates, which have been associated with health concerns. Despite these factors, dry sausage remains a flavorful and convenient option for snacks, charcuterie boards, or enhancing recipes when enjoyed responsibly.
