Slavonski kulen is a large Croatian sausage of choice pork cuts with salt, hot and sweet paprika and garlic, stuffed into a pig's caecum. It is fermented, cold-smoked, dried and matured for at least 150 days, and is made only between November and March.

At a glance
Slavonski kulen is a large Croatian sausage of choice pork cuts with salt, hot and sweet paprika and garlic, stuffed into a pig's caecum. It is fermented, cold-smoked, dried and matured for at least 150 days, and is made only between November and March. Made in 5 steps over 6 months. The longest step, dry and mature, takes at least 4.9 months (European Commission 2015) and runs at 14–17 °C (Mastanjević K 2017). Lactic acid bacteria and coagulase-negative staphylococci does most of the fermenting.
Slavonski kulen has a high meat content, with fat capped at 10 % of the filling, which the specification says makes it one of the hardest sausages to dry. Its caecum casing, winter-only production and long maturing of at least 150 days set it apart.
Baranjski kulen PGIThe neighbouring PGI kulen from Baranja is also filled into a pig caecum. A study of it and of kulenova seka (a kulen of a different calibre, filled into a pig rectum) gives a 90:10 meat to fat ratio for Baranjski kulen (80:20 for kulenova seka) and a mince of 6 or 8 mm; see its own entry.
Safety
The specification requires water activity under 0.90 when sold. Traditional kulen carries more mould species on the casing than industrial kulen. A Croatian study of 16 traditional and 10 industrial sausages found cyclopiazonic acid or ochratoxin A in 69 % of the traditional ones, at up to 13.35 and 6.95 µg/kg, and ochratoxin A in one industrial sample. It detected no aflatoxin B1. The figures here describe controlled production, not a home method. Washington State University Extension does not recommend making dry sausage at home, because S. aureus toxin can form if fermentation is not rigidly controlled. The US CDC says curing, drying or smoking alone does not reliably kill Trichinella worms.
Hazards the sources name: Mycotoxins from surface moulds (cyclopiazonic acid or ochratoxin A in 69 % of 16 traditional samples, at up to 13.35 and 6.95 µg/kg).
Production of kulen in Slavonia is said to go back more than 200 years. The name "Slavonski kulen" first appeared in print in 1968, in the Vinkovački list newspaper.
