About Kulen
Kulen is a traditional smoked sausage originating from Croatia, particularly popular in the Slavonia region. Made primarily from minced pork and seasoned with paprika, garlic, and other spices, Kulen is encased in natural pork intestines and aged for months, allowing its bold, distinctive flavors to develop. It’s a staple of Croatian cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Nutritionally, Kulen is rich in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins due to its pork base. However, it is also high in fat and sodium, which may be less favorable for those monitoring cholesterol or blood pressure. Due to its curing process, it should be consumed sparingly and balanced with fresh, nutrient-rich foods. When included in moderation, Kulen can add authentic and exciting character to a meal while offering valuable protein.
