Dried sausage

Dried sausage is a type of cured meat that is preserved by salting, drying, and sometimes smoking. During the curing process, moisture is removed, which inhibits bacterial growth and enhances flavor. This results in a firm, dense sausage with a concentrated taste. Dried sausages, such as salami or chorizo, are often sliced thin and enjoyed as snacks or in dishes. They have a longer shelf life than fresh sausages and can be stored at room temperature, making them a convenient and flavorful option for meats that require minimal refrigeration.
