What do the summer 2025 new grill sausages taste like? The jury of four sat down to taste 15 new sausages.
The grills have been excavated again, which also means the start of the barbecue sausage season. According to Atria’s Grilling -Finland’s largest dining season survey, the sausage has retained its position as a leading grilled raw material, but chicken is also gaining popularity. The grill sausage is eaten about 1.5 kilos per adult, while chicken fillet and piggy are spent about 780 grams per adult. The beef is clearly smaller grilled.
There are a lot of new barbecue sausages on the shelves of the stores for the upcoming grill season. We picked up 15 different novelties for the test.
The test group consisted of four Iltalehti journalists who gave each sausage on a scale of 4 to 10. The final grades consist of the average of these grades.
In the test situation, the sausages were grilled with a charcoal grill. The jury tasted the sausages blind, so they didn’t know what the sausage ate.
The Iltalehti jury tasted the barbecue sausages of the season on the Töölönlahti Park barbecue site. Pete anikari
Lidl’s Urho’s true flesh, which represents the traditional fleshy barbecue sausage, got Lidl’s Urho. The barbecue sausage made of Finnish pork contains 87 percent meat.
Atria’s Wilhelm Double-W, which is also a traditional and fleshy barbecue sausage with its 91 % meat content, reached almost as high points.
Thirdly, Kivikylä’s new sausage was collected by Juusto-Jalapeno Tuhti, where the jury, as its name suggests, was kicking. The spiciness of the sausage was praised for fit.
The top three stood out among the 16 barbecue sausages. Pete anikari
