Kiełbasa polska

(Kiełbasa starowiejska)

Kiełbasa Polska is one of the most traditional Polish sausages that is made following an age-old method of sausage making. This variety of sausage consists of lean pork, semi-fat pork, sugar, garlic, and spices such as pepper, marjoram, ground mustard seeds, and thyme, which are combined and then chilled before they are stuffed into pork casings.


These pork sausages are then often smoked lightly and allowed to dry and mature for a few days. This type of sausage is also commonly referred to as kiełbasa starowiejska or old countryside sausage, and it can be eaten raw or cooked, served with some pickled vegetables, onions, beetroot, horseradish, mustard, and bread on the side.
