Broccoli Rabe Sausage | Fresh Italian Links | 8 Pounds | 4-Pack
At a Glance
These fresh Italian sausage links blend coarse-ground pork shoulder with chopped broccoli rabe and aged Provolone. Hand-tied in natural casings, the greens and cheese are mixed directly into the meat during the grinding process, ensuring every link cooks with pockets of melted cheese and slightly bitter greens.
Cooking & Preparation
- Do Not Pierce: A fork or knife allows juices and melted Provolone to escape. Keep the natural casing intact.
- Temperature Control: Brown the links gradually over moderate heat rather than high heat to prevent the casing from splitting.
- Target Heat: Cook pork sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Rest Before Slicing: Allow the links to rest for a few minutes off the heat so the internal juices settle.
Nutrition Information
- Ingredients: Pork shoulder, broccoli rabe, aged Provolone cheese, salt, spices, natural pork casing.
- Allergens: Contains milk (Provolone cheese).
Francesco's Tip: Cook these gradually. Let the outside brown naturally and only slice them after they have rested to keep the cheese inside.

Common Questions
Q Is the broccoli rabe inside the sausage?
A Yes. The chopped broccoli rabe is blended directly into the pork before stuffing, not served as a side dish.
Q Are there chunks of cheese in these links?
A Yes. Aged Provolone is mixed into the raw sausage and melts into savory pockets during cooking.
Q Are these links different from a Chevalatta ring?
A Yes. These are individual, thicker butcher-style links. A Chevalatta is a thinner, continuous coiled ring usually cooked whole.
Q Can I freeze this sausage?
A Yes. The 8-pound order ships as four separate 2-pound packages, allowing you to freeze what you do not cook immediately.
