pearl river pastures / pastured pork ground hot italian sausage ~1lb

The Pastured Pork Ground Hot Italian Sausage from Pearl River Pastures—based in Poplarville, Mississippi—is loose, fresh-ground sausage seasoned with an A.C. Legg hot Italian blend. It delivers a classic, fennel-forward Italian flavor paired with a warm, spicy kick.

Compared to conventional ground Italian sausage, it is superior because it comes from heritage breed hogs raised naturally on open pasture and woodland without antibiotics, added hormones, or GMO feeds. The pigs' natural foraging produces richer, well-marbled pork that holds and enhances the fiery Italian spices without relying on artificial flavorings, fillers, or excess water weight.

Versatile and easy to shape, it can be browned and stirred into marinara or a spicy arrabbiata sauce, crumbled over pizzas, or rolled into spicy meatballs. To prepare, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or use a cold-water bath for same-day cooking.
