An 8 ox pack? Holy cow! That must be a lot of meat!

Humanely raised, all-natural, no nitrates. Man, if I wasn't unemployed I would totally buy this.

I've been indulging in the art of Charcuterie. It will be good to try some "fancy" stuff.

This will go very, very well with the cheese I got here a couple weeks back.

Yum, pig guts. hehehe
Obviously not Kosher

From a $220k day to this.. Talk about going from hot to cold...

What a disappointment. I was hoping for something worth using my JumboWoot coupon on, like Brandini.. Oh well..

How is this shipping? Is it coming on the snail or is it coming 2 day ground like Creminili?

i totally noticed that, too--mainly because it took me two readings to realize that it didn't say "Box" since there's no spacing around the numbers. <=)

I will admit not knowing what a sopressata is...

and now have learned something new.

*edit

Also, apparently the item description here has more info than the actual company's website?

I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw this but when I went to order they don't ship to Hawaii? I cried. I'd be willing to pay extra.

Nothing says mother's day quite like giving her sausage

This looks like proper sausage, organic and healthy, and not as overpriced as some try, being under $8 apiece. Very tempting.

Is it cold packed? Will it ship APO?

This stuff is very tasty. I had it on a wine tasting event in Sonoma and Paso Robles. Good stuff.

Naturally occuring nitrites can turn into nitrosamines, a family of carcinogens, in the same way that industrially produced nitrites can. The reason being, sodium nitrite is sodium nitrite, regardless of its source. Unless a "natural" product contains a significantly lower concentration of nitrites (unlikely, since it still has to be properly cured), there is no health benefit from eating it.

"Normal" cured products containing industrially produced nitrites can be healthier, in this respect, because other compounds (sodium ascorbate, sodium erythorbate, etc) which inhibit nitrosamine formation are frequently added as preservatives.

I still think "all natural" is important. I usually buy hormone free meats and milk. A good portion of my produce is organic. This is just one area where I think people should know the truth - natural isn't always better.

Edit: I'd like to add that this isn't meant as an attack on Transatlantic Foods. I just think some people associate nitrites with "bad" and assume if it is labeled as "nitrite free" it is safer to eat. The fact is if you are going to buy these, buy them because they're tasty! (at least they sound so)

I love charcuterie! In for one and cashing in on my coupon from Jumbowoot! thanks jumbowoot!

here's a vid for sharing the love of the cured meats.
I love how you have to get your hands in there and all the fun parts that make delicious sausage!

fun charcuterie vid (except the shameless plugs at the end)

did somebody say sausages?

MAN I wish I had the extra cash to buy this! I love me some fancy meat!

You had my heart at sausage. Haven't had this particular brand, but I've the same or similar varieties before. Personally, I love a good sopressata with fat that melts in your mouth - not the chewy stuff you find in some cheaper grocery chain brand. The Hot and Regular Sopressatas look good as does the Chorizo..and throw in the 8oz Pancetta on top of that? I'm in for 1. Looking forward to trying that salami with some of the good juice I've picked up this last year. Done!

Oh jeez I don't even like looking at this stuff! Blurp,blurp, I don't like those white chunks of whatever floating around in my food,it should not be allowed.

$16 a pound? No thanks.

Unless this meat is coated in sugar, I don't understand why it would list 19 (g?) carbohydrates. Must be a typo?

Since this isn't actually wine- the shipper won't require someone to sign for it, right?

What's the shelf life for these?

Dear woot!

Next time can you just put up "MEAT" as the description?

Thank you

Poor baby, living in Hawaii isn't good enough :-)

So excuse my ignorance when it comes to gourmet meats. Since this is all cured, it simply needs to be sliced and eaten, correct?

Also, as someone else noted, what is the shelf life of this, unopened? How should be it be stored, opened and unopened? How long does it last once opened?

Nevermind, just realized it's all pork & that would be in poor taste to send to Afghanistan..my bad.

Does anyone know how this compares to Creminili? I loved the last Creminili offer and savored every bite leading in to Christmas.


Thanks to Woot, have I discovered another great buy? If so, I will buy.

I need a day off!!!

Ok...so this is totally useless to the present discussion, but probably won't be the only one that you can say that about ;)

...do not know this companies meats but do enjoy their truffle butters quite a bit.

is there an expiration? Not sure when I'm having my next party. Of course you're all invited.

We have some of these right now, and ate the Sopressata this last weekend with friends. Served with the last of my Vella cheese from my Jan wine woot order, of course..
Anyway, it was unreal good. Melt in your mouth cured meat as noted, this is the real deal.
Mine was scored from another site for almost 2 bucks a stick more, so this is also a real deal in that respect as well.

Yum. Now I have to stop at that little italian deli when I go out today. Hurrah for instant gratification!

We happen to have a good source for organic/humanely raised cured meat products, so we're going to pass.

BUT - a note about sopressata: marinate some big shrimp; fold a thin slice of mozzarella and a slice of sopressata over each shrimp, sort of like a taco; skewer these little one-shrimp meat tacos and grill them.

(And yes - if you don't have a close-by, reliable source for cured meats, this is a good deal, in my opinion.)
