There is no experience in sausage recipes but They are recipes passed down by word of mouth.. Then chemical engineers, food engineers modified it so that the product lasted longer and therefore had a better color, but the flavor came from that recipe.

Do you make any home-cooked meals?

and We were doing specials, but we weren’t selling a lot.. We do this at different times of the year. For example: ham, bacon and other smoked products. Have been customers for many years what do they tell me “I want a stew with bacon.” buenoI made two or three bacons and sold them to that customer especially. This is a great way to keep a family tradition alive.

At the time, this was new to the area. We continue with the same recipe. We have changed the machine From Germany, the mold is a little larger, 95 grams, but the recipe is the same.

Why is it called a “good measure”?

Why That was the name of my grandfather’s butcher shop in Chivilkoy. The original massacre no longer exists. Outside the city, ruins still remain in the family’s fields. In the corner is a half-destroyed sign. The name likely comes from the way sales were done in the early 20th century, when everything was weighed and shipped in bulk.. Today, La Buena Medida sausages are sold throughout the province of Buenos Aires. The point of sale remains the butcher’s shop on the corner of Via Zambonini and Via Marcelino Crespo.
