From antiquity to the present, man has searched for methods of preserving and extending his food supply. The oldest method of preservation is salting. In 830 B.C., Homer wrote about smoking and salting meats in The Odyssey. Different types of sausage were created all over the world, and each region developed their own distinctive style of sausage influenced by the availability of local ingredients, spices, and casings. Climate was another important factor for the development of region-specific fresh and dry sausages. Regions with distinct seasons used different techniques to preserve meat. In the cold seasons, fresh sausage was able to keep for short periods of time without refrigeration. The smoking process was developed to preserve sausages during the warmer seasons. Dry sausage, which does not require any refrigeration, was created in warmer regions. Some sausages became associated with their country or city of origin. A good example is Bologna, which originated in the town of Bologna in Northern Italy. Almost every culture has created its own characteristic type of sausage. Even the Native Americans created sausages made from a wide variety of meats and berries. Any meat which has been changed from its original form (e.g. minced) and seasoned is considered sausage. Of all the various processed meats, sausage is the most appetizing and widely utilized. The word “sausage” is derived from the Latin word salsus, which means salted. A sausage is any salted, ground meat, and there are many different types of sausages produced around the world and now for the first time you can try our home made speciality sausages.
