Gyulai kolbász

Gyulai kolbász is a slowly smoked sausage made from pig's meat that has been minced with fat and combined with salt, hot and mild ground paprika, pepper, caraway, garlic, and salt. The combination is placed into intestines that act as a protective casing, and the sausage is then smoked over wood before being cured and hung to dry.

When sold whole, the sausages must come in pairs (18-26 cm in length) and they must not have any mold on the exterior. The sausages slice easily and have a pleasant flavor of smoke and spices used in the production process. They can be eaten on their own, with bread, or used in rakott krumpli, a traditional Hungarian potato and egg casserole.
