The sight of a pig may initially be shocking to many, but for rural people, it signifies the beginning of a plentiful winter.

In Szekler-Hungarian households, the tradition of pig slaughtering played a prominent role in building family community, especially before Christmas. It was a family celebration that still continues today, starting with a toast and ending with one (or more).

From ear to tail (literally), every part of the animal is utilized, not a drop (of its blood) goes to waste.

Blood sausage, as a traditional culinary delicacy, goes particularly well with potatoes. That’s why we created these Blood Sausage Flavored Csiki Csipsz, paying tribute to our ancestors and evoking the taste of tradition.
