Sausage, the indispensable flavor of our breakfasts, is produced in different qualities. But there are some tips on how to recognize a good sausage. Now, I’m going to share information on how to recognize a good sausage.
The first characteristic of a good sausage is that it is made from 100% veal. Real sausage is made only from beef, other sausage mixtures do not provide the same flavor. Sausages are usually produced in two different ways: “fermented” and “heat-treated”. While fermented sausages are made by maturing naturally, heat-treated sausages are produced by accelerating the production process by applying heat from outside. For this reason, the preferred sausages are usually fermented sausages.
A good sausage should have a stable color, without mottling or mosaicism. If the sausage you choose is dark and the color is consistent throughout, you have chosen a quality sausage. It is also important that the sausage does not leave excess fat when cooked. This indicates that the sausage is exposed to too much fat during the production process and has a low meat content. A good sausage should cut hard and not stick to the knife, which indicates quality.
Sausages made from natural casings should be preferred. When buying sausage, you need to examine the casings to make sure that there are no fat accumulation, blistering, bruising or tearing. In such cases, you should not buy the sausage and should contact the seller and ask for the product to be removed from the shelf.
A good sausage should not be red in color, should not shrink when cooked and should not fall apart like meat in the mouth. If this is the case, additives may have been added to the sausage and the production process may have been accelerated. It is therefore important to pay attention to such situations.
Finally, one of the details that indicates the quality of the sausage is the method of storage. The sausage should be kept in a cool, but not cold, place. If the sausage package is spoiled, it should be consumed as soon as possible. If the sausage could not be finished, it would be more useful to store it in a refrigerator bag, not just in the fridge. Sausages stored in this way will better preserve their nutritional value and flavor and will be more resistant to spoilage.
