California Farm Made Pepperoni Sausage California Farm Made Pepperoni Sausage
This 100% beef pepperoni sausage is from 80% lean chuck beef which contains 20% fat and therefore does not dry out, and gets it pepperoni flavor and color from red paprika powder, fennel seeds, red cayenne and black pepper. It concentrates these flavors as it cures and dries to 70% of original weight. Never cooked or smoked, stays soft for a year.I add the optional truffle seasoning for a special touch.Pure beef pepperoni is juicier than pepperoni made from mixes of beef and pork, since pork hardens more when dried.
