About Sopressada

Sopressata is a traditional Italian cured sausage made from coarsely ground pork, often seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic, and sometimes chili flakes or fennel seeds. A staple in Italian cuisine, it hails from regions like Calabria, Tuscany, and Veneto, each offering its unique variation. Sopressata is air-dried and fermented, resulting in a rich, tangy, and robust flavor. While it’s high in protein and contains essential nutrients like iron and zinc, it is also rich in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption can contribute to high blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Ideal as part of an antipasto platter, it adds savory depth to sandwiches, salads, or charcuterie boards. Look for options made with high-quality, minimally processed ingredients for a healthier choice.
