Italian Ready-to-Serve Sausages

These Carando Premium Charcuterie Cuts are All-Natural

These new Carando premium charcuterie cuts have been added to the Smithfield Foods-owned brand's portfolio as the perfect option for consumers to pick up this season.

The products come in the Italian Dry Salame, Pepperoni & Genoa Salame and the Genoa Salame & Pepperoni duo pack, which are each made with all-natural ingredients. The uncured sausage is well-seasoned to achieve a classic Italian flavor profile, while its ready-to-serve nature only needs to be added to your choice of appetizer spread. Each of the five-ounce packs are MSG-free with no artificial flavors, ingredients or colors and have between six and 10-grams of protein per serving.

Brand Manager Michael Lewandowski spoke on the Carando premium charcuterie cuts saying, "As experts in crafting authentic Italian meats, we're excited to introduce our Premium All-Natural Dry Sausage line, which features top-quality cuts and all-natural ingredients for unmatched flavour. Just in time for summer entertaining, these new charcuterie cuts are perfect for elevating any meal or antipasto platter, ensuring that gatherings, big or small, are noteworthy and delicious."
