Located in: Meats/Seafood, Cured Sausages

Italian for "Hunter's Salami," these sweet, dry sausages are characterized by their small size and boisterous flavor. Made by Casa Italia from select lean pork and delicate seasonings. You can tell that these dried mini-salamis are made with tender loving care from a time-tested Italian family recipe. Each vacuum-sealed pouch contains a delicious, ready-to-eat cacciatore in one of four available flavors. Great for picnics or antipasto, be sure to have some Merlot around whenever you serve these spicy delicacies.

Made in Canada to exact Italian specifications. Varieties sold separately.

It is a delicious sausage. We eat it with slices of top quality Parmesean. My husband could eat a whole sausage by himself if allowed.

Comments about Cacciatore by Casa Italia:

I was dissapointed with this sausage. It was dry and hard. The flavor had an almost "raw meat" charactaristic about it. This was supposed to be the sweet variety.

Good, would buy again.

Comments about Cacciatore by Casa Italia:

I ordered the red pepper which I thought would offer a bit of a bite to the overall flavour. This is not the case. I barely detected any hint of pepper. The texture was smooth, but waxy and extremely meaty. Not a whole lot of spice or other flavours come through but just a bite or two is satisfying. This little salami goes a long way. I used half for hors d'oevres and the other half finely diced with warm white beans, olive oil and garlic. The overall flavour definitely improved in that dish.
