Biroldo

Biroldo is a dark red Tuscan blood sausage, spotted with lighter-colored chunks of meat and fat. It is traditionally made with parts of pig offal that wouldn't be used for other sausages, such as heart, lungs, and tongue. Typical flavorings include cloves, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, fennel, and garlic.

This soft-textured sausage can be enjoyed fresh or preserved in lard. Although biroldo blood sausage represents one of the most ancient flavors of the region, nowadays it is not widely enjoyed.
