What it is
This is a fully cooked beef sausage. It is made with beef and seasoned with spices. The sausage is then smoked to give it a distinct flavor. It is encased in natural casings, which gives it a satisfying 'snap' when bitten into. This product is ready to eat or can be heated through for a warm meal.
