Sausages from Baranja, Croatia

Baranjski Kulen

Baranja, Croatia

Verified

Baranjski Kulen is a premium dry-cured pork sausage from the Baranja region of Croatia, made from the best cuts only: leg and loin, seasoned hard with hot paprika and garlic, then cold-smoked and aged for months. Thicker and coarser than ordinary kobasica, stuffed into a pig's appendix or bladder casing, giving it its round, flattened shape. Kulen is Croatia's most prized charcuterie, with EU PGI protection.
