Sausage — Blog — On the Table

The Bull Boar Sausage is a culinary legacy left by Swiss Italian immigrants who settled in Daylesford during the 1850's Victorian gold rush. This unique sausage has a very distinctive taste. It comprises equal portions of beef and pork and heavily laden with sweet spices. Every Swiss Italian family in the district had their own closely guarded secret recipe and is the reason why this Daylesford specialty is facing extinction and now holds a place on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. Here is a handwritten Gervasoni family recipe for you to try.
