Kiełbasa jałowcowa Staropolska

Kiełbasa jałowcowa is a unique sausage in the form of an evenly wrinkled stick in the shape of a garland, made from fattened pigs' meat. Finely chopped juniper berries, pepper, and sugar are combined with the meat before it is stuffed into pig intestines that are later shaped into small or large garlands.

The sausages are baked and smoked over juniper branches, and then dried for up to five days to produce the final product with a dark brown color and an exceptional piney flavor and aroma. The sausage is commonly eaten on its own, as a snack or as a cold cut that's ideal for sandwiches.
