FONTANINI^® Sliced Spicy Italian Pork Sausage, Cooked, 2/2.27 kg

The quality of the meat. This sausage is made from 100% ground pork — whole cuts rather than trim — giving you better texture, a firmer bite, and a cleaner finish than products built on lower-quality inputs. A fresh Italian spice blend rounds out the flavour profile you’d expect from a quality hot Italian sausage.

Consistent piece count makes portioning predictable. At 8 pieces per ounce (approximately 3 per 10 g), your team knows exactly how many pieces go on a pizza, into a pasta, or onto a sub — no estimating, no overloading. That consistency protects your food cost and makes it easier to standardize builds across the line regardless of who is working the station.

Preparation is minimal. This is a fully cooked product — simply heat and serve. There’s no raw meat handling, no monitoring for doneness, and no food safety concerns associated with preparing raw pork. It works on a flat top, in a convection oven, or heated directly in sauce, depending on the application.

Sliced and portioned, it’s well-suited for any build where Italian sausage is a centrepiece ingredient. Pizza is the natural anchor — it lays evenly and holds its integrity through the bake. It also works in pasta dishes, hot sandwiches, and subs. Because it comes sliced rather than crumbled, it holds a distinct presence on the plate rather than disappearing into the sauce.

It holds its texture when kept in sauce or on a warming surface. The all-meat composition means it doesn’t dry out or turn rubbery the way lower-quality products can during a long service window. For high-volume operations, that stability through service matters as much as how it performs right off the heat.
