Traditional smoked sausage
This smoked sausage is an original Dutch product and made according to a very traditional butcher’s recipe, in which ground meat combined with spices and salt is stuffed into a casing. The casing of this type of smoked sausage is generally hard and crispy in flavour, which is appreciated by many.
There are several ways to produce smoked sausages:
1. Smoked sausage that has been acidified through the fermentation process. This contains the classic, old-fashioned, more sour flavour. This is the traditional smoked sausage that was particularly popular in the past.
2. Fresh smoked sausage acidified with citric acid. This variant has a less sour flavour than the fermented smoked sausage. Over the years, this smoked sausage has become more popular.
3. Coextrusion smoked sausage that is not made the traditional way, with a sausage skin, but with a collagen layer using the coextrusion methode. This sausage can be stored outside of the fridge on room temperature.
Traditional smoked sausage is one of the product that made Compaxo big back in the days. The licence for a traditional smokehouse in the bacon butcher’s shop of yesteryear even symbolises the official founding of Compaxo in 1896. As smoking experts, we have proudly continued the passion and craft of traditional smoked sausage smoking to this day. The tradition that started in the early 19th century therefore continues to inspire today. Compaxo, more than a century of reliability.
Our smoked sausage is also available in slices, for industrial applications such as pea soup.
We can smoke our smoked sausages with clean smoke, smoke flavouring and all types of wood as desired, such as apple, peach or oak. Besides a traditional smoked sausage with an artisanal look in wrestling with a clip and a string, we also make vacuum-packed smoked sausages.
Traditional smoked sausage has a typical snap because of the natural casing and is therefore delicious in a stew! But we can’t resist this smoked sausage on its own either, top it off with coarse mustard and enjoy!
