Aldi Cucina Salsiccia Piccante (Spicy Italian Sausage)
Cucina is Aldi’s brand of Italian cuisine and we had to grab the spicy Italian sausage (salsiccia picante) when we saw it for two reasons:
- We already had the non-spicy Italian sausage and loved it
- We don’t really care for a lot of the sausages in Portugal which tend to have large, crunchy, and unappetizing pieces of fat mixed throughout.
