Niman Ranch Sausages

niman-ranch-sausage.jpgI like sausages. So, I was excited that Niman Ranch has a line of sausages that are uncured and have no added nitrates or nitrites. I picked up a pack of the Apple & Gouda sausage and tried it out. I found the flavor to be quite good, but the gouda cheese didn't taste like gouda to me. When the sausage is warm, the gouda (at least I think it's gouda) is completely melted and flows and tastes like pure pork fat. It's pockets of the creamy fatlike cheese are distributed throughout the sausage and biting into it really reminded me of the effect of biting into a custard or cream filled Krispy Kreme donut. I think I'll have to try one of the other flavors next time.
