About Liverwurst

Liverwurst is a cooked sausage or spreadable meat product made with liver and other meat ingredients, traditionally associated with German-speaking cuisines. It is eaten sliced or spread, depending on the style, and can be served cold or incorporated into other foods.

Its texture ranges from smooth and soft to firmer and sliceable; colour is typically pinkish-brown to grey-brown. The flavour is savoury and liver-forward, often seasoned. Recipes and commercial versions differ in the type and proportion of liver, other meats, fat, and seasonings.
