The sausage (1) such as tough sausage or hard-cured sausage comprises a transparent or semi-transparent sausage casing (2) filled with basic components (3) and additional components (4) deviated from the basic components in the color for the formation of an optically visible pattern, where the additional components are made of sausage mass. The additional components for the formation of a striped pattern, which is visible at the outer side of the sausage through the sausage casing, are introduced in two outer strip-shaped areas (4.1) directly subsequent to an inner surface of the casing.

The additional components for the formation of a striped pattern, which is visible at the outer side of the sausage through the sausage casing, are introduced in two outer strip-shaped areas (4.1) directly subsequent to an inner surface of the sausage casing and running in a sausage longitudinal direction, so that the strip-shaped areas are spaced apart from each other at the inner surface of the sausage casing and in a core of the sausage. The basic components and the additional components consist of sausage basic mass, which contains an additive producing the deviated color. A radial cross-sectional dimension of the strip-shaped area is less than the half of the sausage diameter and is related to a sausage cross-section. The deviated color is produced from the color of the additional component deviated from the basic component by a composition of the sausage mass by adding herbs, spices such as paprika, cheese or different meat components and/or sausage ingredients. The strip-shaped area formed from the additional component has a linear or spir
