Salsiccia di Ceriana

Salsiccia di Ceriana, also called Sousisa de Seriana, is the most famous gastronomic product from Ceriana, whose recipe is still kept a secret by the local artisan butchers. Made with minced pork, pancetta, and flavorings such as salt, pepper, rosemary, and pepperoncino, it can be enjoyed either raw or cooked. The best opportunity to truly experience this Ligurian delicacy is every year during the third week of August, traditionally reserved for the Sagra della Sousissa Serianasca, the biggest food event in the area. It is a true celebration of this delicacy, where four butcher unions compete while preparing the dishes that highlight its flavor.
