Fresh Polish Sausage, Kielbasa Biala Surowa Approx.1.3-1.5lbs
Biała kiełbasa, translating to “white sausage,” is a cherished component of Polish culinary tradition. Made primarily from coarsely ground pork shoulder, it’s seasoned generously with garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper, encapsulated in natural pork casings. This fresh sausage distinguishes itself from other Polish sausages by not undergoing the smoking process, which preserves its pale color and allows the natural flavors of the meat and spices to shine.
Preparation methods for biała kiełbasa vary, but it’s commonly simmered in water or broth, then optionally browned in a pan or on a grill to enhance its flavor and texture. In Polish cuisine, it’s often served with sauerkraut, horseradish, or mustard, and features prominently in traditional soups like żurek (sour rye soup) and biały barszcz (white borscht), especially during Easter celebrations.
The sausage’s coarse grind provides a satisfying, hearty bite, while the blend of garlic and marjoram delivers a fragrant and savory profile. Its versatility and rich taste have made it a beloved dish not only in Poland but also among Polish communities worldwide, symbolizing comfort and cultural heritage.
This is a raw, unsmoked pork sausage seasoned with traditional spices, ideal for cooking at home. It’s sold in packs of two links, approximately 1.5 lbs.
