This sausage has a dark colour and intense taste. During production, blood and tough, well-minced fat are added. The particular seasoning used in this smoked sausage provides it with unique characteristics in terms of its flavour and aroma. Seasoning is rich and aromatic and added in accordance with the expertise of past generations. It is particularly tasty in the Portuguese dish cozido a portuguesa (boiled beef and pork with vegetables, sausages and rice) or even roasted directly in alcohol or brandy.
