We think it’s a fair question.
When you pick up a package of sausage at the grocery store, you should know what you’re bringing home and putting on the table. And these days, more people are taking a closer look at where their food comes from, what’s in it and how it’s made.
We’re glad they are.
At Kiolbassa, we’ve been making sausage since 1949, and while a lot has changed since then, our approach to making good food really hasn’t.
Good sausage starts with honest meat. To us, that means being straightforward about what goes into the sausage we make.
We use premium cuts of meat because the quality of what goes into the sausage matters. We don’t believe in using fillers to stretch the product or hiding behind a long list of ingredients you wouldn’t expect to find in sausage.
When you bite into Kiolbassa, we want you to taste the meat first.
That’s what we mean when we say Real Smoke. Honest Meat. Slow Crafted.
Take a look at the ingredient statement on a package of Kiolbassa Smoked Sausage. We actually hope you do.
We believe people should know what they’re eating, which is why we’ve always tried to keep things straightforward: premium meat, spices and the ingredients needed to make sausage the way we believe it should be made.
No mystery required.
There’s another part of our sausage you won’t necessarily see on an ingredient list: time.
We slow smoke our sausage with real wood because that’s how you get real smoked flavor. We’ve been doing it that way for generations, and we’re not interested in taking shortcuts just because there might be a faster way.
There are easier ways to make sausage. We just don’t think they make better sausage.
We’re still a family owned company, and we still make our sausage right here in San Antonio, Texas.
That means something to us.
The food we make leaves our doors and ends up on somebody’s dinner table, at a backyard cookout or in a breakfast taco on Saturday morning. We never want to lose sight of that.
Quality and food safety aren’t talking points for us. They’re part of the responsibility that comes with making food for other families.
We can tell you what goes into Kiolbassa, but you don’t have to take our word for it.
Turn over the package. Read the ingredients. Look at the nutrition facts. Learn a little about how we make our sausage and about the family behind it.
