    Bavarian White Sausages are considered to be a breakfast sausage. Weißwürste are quite popular, especially during Okoberfest in Munich.

    Weisswürste are very perishable and should be eaten soon after being cooked, as it contains no preservatives.

    This traditional Bavarian sausage gets it´s name – white (Weiss) sausage (Wurst) – from its very pale, almost white appearance.
