Chevalatta is a thin Italian sausage ring made in one continuous coil instead of separate links. It is a favorite for grilling because the smaller casing cooks quickly, browns well, and gives the sausage that crisp outside snap people expect from a real Italian butcher counter.
Our Italian sausage rings are made fresh to order at Frank and Sal using traditional Italian market recipes. Each sausage ring is prepared by our butcher, coiled by hand, skewered so it stays flat while cooking, packed with care, and shipped fresh.
Chevalatta is not the same as a regular Italian sausage link. It is made thinner, shaped into a ring, and cooked whole. The result is a sausage that sears beautifully on the grill, in a pan, or under the broiler.
Order the size that fits your table, freezer, family gathering, or next cookout.
Choose the Italian sausage ring flavor that fits the way your family likes to cook and eat.
Market note: Please allow 2 to 3 days for our team to prepare your fresh batch before shipping. Fresh sausage orders are packed with thermal protection and shipped Monday through Thursday to avoid unnecessary weekend delays. Physical addresses only. We cannot ship fresh perishables to P.O. Boxes.
Defrost your Chevalatta in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking. Cook the sausage ring whole over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Do not puncture the casing while it cooks. Keeping the casing intact helps the natural juices stay inside the coil.
Once both sides have a deep brown sear, remove the skewers and let the sausage rest for 2 minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve it with roasted peppers, Italian bread, pasta, potatoes, broccoli rabe, or a simple salad.
Franco Casamento, 1961, Palermo, Sicily
Our family’s sausage recipes go back to Palermo in 1961 and have been part of the New York market tradition for generations. Today, we still make our Italian sausage rings the way customers expect from a real butcher counter: fresh, carefully seasoned, and packed with care.
