Linguiça is a mild Portuguese-style sausage made from pasture-raised pork seasoned with garlic and paprika, and hardwood smoked. This juicy cooking sausage is great on the grill or sautéed with onions. It is also delicious in soups and stews and is a key ingredient in the over-the-top francesinha sandwich.
Our version of linguiça is made by a boutique curing house using pasture-raised pork with no preservatives. It has a firm yet juicy texture and a natural casing. The flavor is rich and complex, with a smoky, garlicky flavor and mild paprika accents.
We like to grill linguiça whole, or in thick slices. It is delicious served simply with good bread and grilled onions. You can store it in the refrigerator for a few weeks or freeze for long term storage.
