Alps Sweet Dry Sausage is a classic, artisanal Italian-style sausage handcrafted in New York since 1928 by Alps Provisions Co. Made from premium lean pork, this sausage is seasoned with a simple blend of salt and black pepper, delivering a mild, natural flavor with a delicate, savory profile. Finer in texture than traditional soppressata, it features a thinner profile and a firm, yet sliceable texture, achieved through slow air-curing in natural hog casings. This ready-to-eat sausage is perfect for charcuterie boards, paired with nutty cheeses like Gouda or creamy goat cheese, crackers, and red wine, or as a flavorful topping for homemade pizzas and pasta dishes. Its authentic, old-world taste evokes the Italian butcher shops of yesteryear, making it a favorite for traditional recipes like pizza rustica.
