Varieties of Linguiça Calabrese on display at the Municipal Market of São Paulo.

Linguiça calabresa (Calabrese sausage) is a type of seasoned Brazilian sausage, originating in São Paulo, created in the city of São Paulo in 1937.[1] It originated in the Bixiga neighborhood, created by Italian immigrants who were inspired by a sausage found in Calabria (Salsiccia di Calabria).[2] Linguiça Calabrese, consumed throughout the country, is widely used in pizzas, barbecues, sandwiches, and feijoada.[3]

In Brazil, Normative Instruction No. 4/2000 of the Ministry of Agriculture defined the classification of some varieties of sausage, among which are calabrese sausages. This standard defines it as, made exclusively from pork, cured, with added ingredients, and having the characteristic spicy flavor of Calabrian pepper, subjected or not to a drying or similar process for dehydration and/or cooking, with smoking being optional.[1]
