Chevalatta Sausage Pinwheel | Artisan Italian-Style Spiral

Artisan Italian Craftsmanship in Every Spiral

At Meat N’ Bone, we believe exceptional flavor starts with intentional craftsmanship. That’s why we partnered with a local artisan chef to create the Chevalatta Sausage Pinwheel, an authentic Italian-style spiral made the traditional way in ultra-small batches—just 50 lbs at a time, compared to the industry standard of 500+ lbs.

Also known as Luganega or Barese Sausage, this 1 lb spiral is a classic Italian favorite. Made exclusively from premium pork, it is coarsely ground for a rich, meaty texture and seasoned with a traditional blend of black pepper, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Stuffed into a natural lamb casing, the sausage maintains its signature thin, spiral shape, delivering a snappy bite and authentic depth of flavor that mass-produced sausages simply cannot match.

Why Choose Chevalatta?

How to Cook It

This versatile 1 lb spiral is perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or baking. Always cook to an internal temperature of 165°F.

• Grill it: Cook over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden brown.
• Pan-fry it: Heat in a skillet over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, ensuring an even sear on all sides.
• Bake it: Roast at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for a perfectly cooked finish.

Pairing Suggestions

The Chevalatta Sausage is a flavorful centerpiece for any meal:

• Classic Italian: Serve with roasted peppers and onions or on a crusty roll.
• Rustic Dinner: Pair with creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or sautéed greens.
• Pasta Night: Slice and toss into a rich tomato sauce or a garlicky olive oil pasta dish.
• Beverage Pairing: Enjoy with a bold Italian red wine like Sangiovese or a crisp, malty lager.

Storage & Freshness

Because our Chevalatta Sausage contains minimal preservatives, it must be kept frozen until ready to cook.

• Thawing: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight for best results. You can also thaw in cold water (leave in package) for a quicker option, but do not refreeze after thawing.
