Falukorv (/ˈfɑːluːkɔːrv/ FAH-loo-korv, Swedish: [ˈfɑ̂ːlɵˌkɔrv]), or Falu sausage in English,[1] is a sausage (korv in Swedish) which originates from Falun, Sweden. It is made of a grated mixture of smoked pork and beef or veal with potato starch flour, onion, salt and mild spices. Falukorv is a pre-cooked sausage, thus it can be eaten cold without any further preparation.
