It's sold as one long coiled sausage rather than pre-cut into links — vendors snip off however much you want right off the coil.

A fresh, coarsely ground pork sausage seasoned simply with salt and pepper is sold as a long, loosely coiled rope rather than individual links, and grilled or braised whole. Ticino's market stalls and village festivals sell it sliced into rolls or paired with polenta.

Why it's made this way: Its Italian-leaning simplicity reflects Ticino's position as Switzerland's Italian-speaking canton, closer in style to northern Italian fresh sausage than to German Swiss dried and smoked varieties.
