How to choose
Look for 'Чорна ковбаса' made with high-quality ingredients, ideally from a trusted local producer. The color should be a deep, consistent dark brown/black. Avoid products with excessive amounts of visible fat or a greyish hue. Smell should be savory, slightly smoky, not sour or off-putting. Check the ingredients list – traditional recipes use pork blood, buckwheat/barley, and spices. Variations exist (e.g., with added liver), so choose based on preference.
How to store
Store in the refrigerator (2-4°C) for up to 5-7 days. It's best consumed shortly after purchase. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before use. Once opened, consume within 2-3 days.
