Boar's Head Italian Style Dry Sausage
What it is
This is a cured sausage made with pork and seasoned with Italian herbs and spices. It is dry-cured, meaning it has undergone a process of salting and air-drying to remove moisture and preserve it. The result is a firm, flavorful sausage that is ready to eat without further cooking. It is typically sliced thinly for serving.
