Cabanossi

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAB : Cabanossi

Cabanossi (pronounced ['kæbəˌnɔsi]) is a type of dry sausage, similar to a very mild salami. It is made from pork and beef, lightly seasoned and then smoked. It traditionally comes in the form of a long, thin sausage, 30 to 40 centimetres long, and 1.5 centimetres in diameter. Varirations include chicken and duck cabanossi.

Cabanossi is very popular in Australia and New Zealand, being one of the most commonly found types of dry sausage there. In Europe it has a lower profile, competing with a wider selection of other types of sausage.

It is commonly cut into bite sized chunks and eaten cold as an appetiser or snack, often with cubes of cheese and crackers. Sliced cabanossi is also a popular pizza topping.
