Ciauscolo is a type of dry-cured and smoked pork sausage typical of the Marche region of Italy. Wider than your typical sausage, ciauscolo is seasoned with black pepper, garlic and white wine and cold-smoked over juniper branches for several days. Its most unique characteristic is that it is a very soft, moist sausage that can be spread like a pâté. Buon appetito!
