The Levoni Cooked Cotechino Italian sausage - 1.1lb has been synonymous with high quality sausages since 1911. The company uses traditional Italian sausage production methods with careful selection of raw ingredients and expert processing methods. 
Cotechino is a classic Italian sausage traditionally eaten during winter holidays—especially New Year’s Eve—often served with lentils or mashed potatoes. It’s rich, flavorful, and gelatinous due to its mix of pork, rind, and spices.
