Red Sausage from Castelpoto

Gastronomic excellence

The Red Sausage of Castelpoto is a product of absolute gastronomic excellence . It is obtained from pigs born in our hills (or in our territories) and raised taking care of their well-being, grown without the use of antibiotics and carefully selecting the nutrients for their growth.

Meat selection

The Red Salsiccia di Castelpoto from Fattoria Muccio is obtained by processing the best cuts of pork such as ham and shoulder. During processing, the meat is flavored with a few ingredients, all natural and obviously with papaulo powder.

The role of the Papaulo

The unique taste, the peculiar aroma and the typical red color are obtained by adding the Papauli powder to the mixture. It is obtained in an artisanal way from a laborious processing of the native pepper of Castelpoto which is transformed into a very fine powder according to the ancient recipe.

Seasoning process

The seasoned Red Salsiccia di Castelpoto is obtained by carrying out a drying process of the chains, of about 10 days, followed by the longer seasoning phase in order to give it a dark red color tending towards brick, and a soft and non-elastic consistency when cut. Once this process is completed, the Salsiccia is ready to be put on the table. A delicacy that, once seasoned, can also be enjoyed alone, served as an appetizer together with other typical cured meats or combined with naturally leavened bread cooked in a wood oven.
