About Linguica

Linguica is a flavorful, smoked pork sausage with origins in Portuguese cuisine. Seasoned with garlic, paprika, and various spices, it boasts a distinctive, mildly spicy taste that pairs well with stews, grilled dishes, or as a savory addition to breakfast plates. Traditionally made from pork, it may also include fat, salt, and wine for added depth of flavor. While Linguica is rich in protein, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Its bold seasonings contribute antioxidants, but those watching their salt intake or managing cholesterol should consume it sparingly.
