About Our Fresh Kielbasa
Fresh kielbasa is a traditional uncooked Polish sausage known for its juicy texture, savory seasoning, garlic-forward flavor, and comforting homemade character. It is prepared raw so the links cook directly in their natural juices and absorb the flavors of the onions, sauerkraut, broth, potatoes, or seasonings served with them.
Unlike smoked or fully cooked kielbasa, fresh kielbasa must be cooked completely before serving. It can be gently simmered, oven-roasted, pan-finished, grilled carefully, or incorporated into a complete Polish meal.
