Sweet Italian Pork Sausage – Natural Casing, 1 lb Retail Packs Product Description Our Sweet Italian Sausage is the definition of classic — juicy, aromatic, and crafted with the same care and tradition that’s been in our family for generations. Made from the pork butt (shoulder) of well-fatted Hampshire hogs, these sausages deliver a naturally rich flavor without the need for added fat. Each link is encased in real natural pork casing, giving you that satisfying snap when you bite into it — the hallmark of true Italian sausage craftsmanship. Both ground fennel and whole fennel seeds are blended into the sausage to create its unmistakable sweet, savory, and aromatic flavor, while a touch of warm spice and natural pork richness rounds out every bite. This is Grandpa’s original recipe, passed down through the family and still made the same way today — using only the finest quality pork and traditional Italian seasoning.
