Impasto di salsiccia s/v piccante stands for vacuum-packed spicy fresh sausage meat without the casing (s/v being the standard Italian abbreviation for sottovuoto, meaning vacuum-sealed). Rather than being stuffed into individual links, the seasoned raw pork paste is packed loose in bulk. This format is highly favored by pizzaiolos and chefs because it eliminates the tedious task of removing casings, allowing the seasoned meat to be crumbled directly onto pizzas or into cooking pans.
