The making of Carniolan sausages arose from the cultural heritage of pig slaughtering. Their documented geographical definition dates from the second half of the 19th century and encompassed sausages from Carniola throughout the Habsburg monarchy, as well as elsewhere in Europe and the world. 

The making of Carniolan sausages has been declared a living masterpiece of national significance.
