Droëwors - Cured Sausage

Droëwors is a traditional South African dried sausage, valued for its rich, savoury flavour and firm texture. The name means “dry sausage” in Afrikaans. It is usually made from seasoned beef, although game meat may also be used, and is flavoured with ingredients such as coriander, pepper, salt and vinegar before being air-dried. Unlike many cured sausages, droëwors is typically dried rather than smoked, creating a convenient, ready-to-eat snack. Serve it in thin slices on a sharing board, enjoy it with cheese and crackers, or pack it for travel and outdoor activities. Store unopened droëwors in a cool, dry place and follow the producer’s storage and use-by guidance after opening.
