Smoking Goose’s Pork Sausage with Wild Fennel is a bold and aromatic smoked sausage made with heritage pork and wild fennel seeds sourced from Magnifici del Mezzogiorno in Calabria, Italy. The addition of anise seed, sage, crushed chilies, and red wine adds warmth and depth, creating a beautifully balanced sausage that’s equal parts savory, smoky, and herbaceous. Fully cooked and ready to eat, it’s excellent sliced onto pizza with arrabbiata sauce and bacon bits, tossed with beans and garlic for a rustic side, or roughly chopped for hearty stuffing or dressing.
Founded in 2011 in Indianapolis, Smoking Goose crafts small-batch charcuterie with care and integrity. Founder Chris Eley, a former fine-dining chef, sources pork from regional family farms where animals are humanely raised without antibiotics or hormones. Each sausage, salame, and smoked meat is produced using traditional techniques and natural ingredients, resulting in exceptional quality and flavor that celebrates the craft of American charcuterie.
