What is Chipolata Sausage?

The chipolata sausage has a rich history with European origins. Some say it was developed in France, while others claim it comes from Italy, where the name is derived from the Italian word "ciopella." The word "ciopella" means "flavored with onion." Sounds plausible! It’s a thin sausage, which is its most notable feature.

What Meat is in Chipolata Sausage?

The beauty of chipolata sausages is that they come in various types. At The Butchery, we offer several varieties made from turkey, lamb, pork, and beef. For example, the Livar chipolata sausages are made from pork, and the Angus chipolatas are made from beef.

What’s the Difference Between Chipolata and Merguez?

Chipolata and merguez sausages are similar in size and thickness, but they differ significantly in seasoning. Chipolata sausages are often seasoned like traditional sausages, while merguez is typically spiced with North African flavors, red in color, and spicy in taste.

How Do You Prepare Chipolata Sausages?

Chipolata sausages are delivered frozen, so it’s essential to thaw them properly. The best way to do this is to place them in the fridge a day before cooking.

Preparing Chipolata in 5 Steps:

1. Remove the sausages from the packaging 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat a frying pan with a knob of butter.
3. Once the butter is melted, add the sausages.
4. Brown the sausages for about a minute while turning them.
5. Let the sausages cook for another 6 to 8 minutes.

You can also grill chipolata sausages on the BBQ or prepare them during a gourmet meal. It’s up to you!

Sausages for Gourmet Cooking

When gourmet cooking, you don’t want to put thick sausages on the grill or in a gourmet pan. Thicker sausages take longer to cook than thinner ones, making chipolata sausages ideal! They’re thin, cook quickly, and come in a variety of options, from turkey and lamb to pork and beef. You can also complement your gourmet spread with other gourmet meats or mini burgers (with mini burger buns!).

Making an English breakfast? Chipolata sausages are perfect for it! A classic English breakfast includes baked beans, bacon, a fried egg, mushrooms, black pudding (blood sausage), and, of course, sausages.

Chipolata Delivered Quick-Frozen

Chipolata sausages are delivered quick-frozen. Keep this in mind when selecting your delivery date, as the meat will need time to thaw if you plan to use it immediately. Otherwise, you can store it in your freezer for later use. Easy!

Our production team freezes the sausages immediately after preparation using a special technique. This involves flash freezing the meat at extremely low temperatures, much faster than standard freezers. This method preserves the texture, nutritional value, and flavor. For transport, your order is packed in an insulated bag inside a box with dry ice. Handle with care when unpacking!
