Cumberland Pork Sausages (400g). Full Flavoured Meaty Sausages With Herbs & Black Pepper 🐷

Information about Cumberland Pork Sausages.

The Cumberland seasoning added to the sausages is a simple mild seasoning that really brings out the flavour of the lean pork. The recipe used for our sausages has not changed for many years making them very popular with our online customers. Cumberland Pork Sausages originate from the Cumbria region in the UK, & were originally a ring style sausage, we have made them as a more familiar straight thick sausage.

Cumbria is an area of outstanding natural beauty including the Lake District & has been made famous by such people as the poet William Wordsworth & Donald Campbell in the water speed records on Coniston Water, where he sadly lost his life in a crash in his record breaking boat, the Bluebird.

What is in our Cumberland Pork Sausages?

In production our expert butchers make the Cumberland Pork Sausages using lean shoulder meat & white loin fat because the coarse shoulder meat combined with the fat will give a perfect balance to make a consistent textured sausage. The shoulder meat has the best flavoured muscles because of the fibrous texture & delivers this every time. The added smooth fat has no lumps or gristle in it, adding to the flavour of the meat & keep it moist during cooking.

How do we make our Cumberland Pork Sausages?

Once the meat has had the small amount of fat added, this is then minced to a coarse size.  The Cumberland seasoning is then added to the mix, with a little rusk & water helping the mix to blend into the right consistency. Using only natural skins, we fill the long familiar sausage tubes before “linking” this into 75 grams, 12 cm long juicy thick Cumberland Pork sausages.

Once our sausages have been made, they are then hung overnight in a very cold chiller to let them “set up”. This means that the seasoning has a chance to infuse the meat enhancing the flavour. Our 6 pack sausages are packed & sealed within minutes of removal from the chiller before freezing down to ensure we deliver the best natural flavoured sausage to your door.

This method of making our sausages is used for our Traditional Pork Sausages & our Boerewors Sausages.

Using natural skins for our Cumberland Pork Sausages because it gives that perfect snap & bite for “the perfect sausage experience”.

There are many different types of sausage available, some great & some that are a cheap commercial variety. As we can make our sausages on a large scale we can produce to a high consistent standard & offer great value. The selection of the lean pork shoulder meat is vital to the quality of our sausages & is something we will not compromise on, because it is false economy & will lower the quality of our sausages.

When you cut into one of our Cumberland Pork Sausages, the difference from an ordinary commercial sausage is immediately apparent; there is more true quality meat, no lumps & the aroma from the sausage is delicious. Just as a sausage should be!
