Gianelli Rope Hot Italian Sausage is a fresh, raw pork sausage formed into a coiled rope shape, sold at Costco deli counters and priced by the pound. It is made from lean, fresh pork blended with Gianelli's signature mix of Italian herbs and spices, with a touch of added heat that gives it a bold, spicy depth of flavor.

The rope format makes it a versatile ingredient for a wide range of dishes — slice it for classic sausage, pepper, and onion sandwiches; crumble it into pasta sauces; use it as a pizza topping; or cook it whole on the grill. All Gianelli fresh sausage products are certified gluten free and soy free.

This item is a raw product and requires full cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F before consumption. It is available in Costco warehouses from the fresh deli section, supplied in bulk cases of four 7-pound rope coils.
