Sweet Sopressata Medallions
What it is
These are thin, round slices of cured pork sausage. They are made with a blend of pork and spices, seasoned with a touch of sweetness. The sausage is dry-cured, which means it is aged to develop its distinctive flavor and firm texture. The medallions are ready to eat, offering a convenient way to enjoy this Italian-style salami.
How people cook with it
These versatile medallions are perfect for adding a savory element to a variety of dishes. They can be enjoyed on their own or incorporated into recipes.

Unpack the medallions and arrange them on a charcuterie board with cheeses, olives, and crackers. They can also be layered into sandwiches or folded into wraps. For a warm application, scatter them over a pizza before baking or toss them into a pasta sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. Their pre-sliced format makes them easy to use directly from the package, saving preparation time.
