Boerewors Sausage (450g), A Delicious South African Style Pork & Beef Sausage 🐂

Information about Boerewors Sausage.

A delicious alternative to a traditional straight sausage with two different meats for a great combination of flavours in one bite.

Our expert butchers use only the very best lean shoulder meat from our delicious Pork & Irish Grass-Fed Beef, carefully trimmed to ensure the texture of the Boerewors Sausage is meaty & smooth with no lumps or gristle in it. Making the Boerewors Sausage using only the shoulder cuts is the best way to get the right flavour when you add your seasonings because the meat has the right texture & infuses with the sausage seasonings perfectly.

Always start with the right ingredients & you can’t really go wrong!

The Sherwood Boerewors Sausage 450-gram is large enough to share between 3 people to make an affordable meal that is great value for money. They have an amazing taste with a very meaty texture that is a delight to eat. This has the same pork meat content as our Traditional Pork Sausages or Cumberland Sausages, so you know these are going to be tasty.

The original recipe is South African & would usually contain a small amount of lamb, but we have kept it simple as Beef ‘n Pork to more appealing. A high meat content sausage with all-natural vitamins & minerals from Pork & Beef is healthier for you than a commercial sausage that uses fillers & water to make up the weight of the sausage.

The Boerewors Sausage is made with only natural skins to give a better snap or bite to it…  as no one enjoys a chewy sausage!

Our expert butchers make our sausages to an exact recipe & method in refrigerated cold rooms, once made the Boerewors Sausage are then hung on racks to set up overnight in the fridges. The reason they are let hanging in the fridges overnight is to allow the blend of pork & beef to absorb the seasoning for a better more consistent flavour, & to help them “firm up to touch” so they pack better.

The sausages are then removed from the very cold fridges ( set at 2°c ) & taken to the packing room where they are trimmed & placed into clear recyclable pouches. The packing & vacuum process is done very quickly limiting the exposure to any natural bacteria found in the air. The shelf life of our sausages is extended because of this & it makes for a safer product with a far better flavour.

The vacuum process sucks in all the natural moisture from the meat back into the sausage giving a more moist, flavoursome sausage when cooked. Once removed from the fridge they are made into the rings you see in the vacuum sealed packages in your orders.
