Kabanos sausages are red due to the pork and spices used, combined with a smoking and drying process that gives them a dark red color and a smoky flavor. They are a type of long, thin, dry sausage originating from Poland, typically made of pork, and are often eaten as a snack.
Ingredients and process: Kabanos is made from pork that is spiced with pepper, nutmeg, sugar, and caraway. After being stuffed into sheep casings, the sausages are smoked and hung to dry. This process concentrates the flavor and results in the sausage's characteristic dark red color.
Flavor: The "redness" is not from artificial coloring but from the natural reaction of the meat and spices during the smoking and drying process. The final product has an intense, smoky, and savory flavor with notes of pepper and caraway.
Variations: Some versions may have a "chilli" flavor, but this is specifically added and is different from the traditional color of the sausage. There are also other variations, such as those made with chicken or other ingredients.
