Italian Sausages
Full product description
Juicy, aromatic and full of character, our Italian sausages bring that classic fennel-and-garlic warmth to your plate. Coarse-ground for a proper butcher’s bite, they brown beautifully in the pan, oven or on the BBQ, staying succulent with a snappy skin. Keep them whole with peppers and onions, crumble for pasta sauces and pizzas, or roast on a tray with potatoes and rosemary. Weeknight easy; trattoria flavour.
