The Paisano Sausage Company was started over 49 years ago by John Laurienti and Jim LaBate. Once Jim's health started to decline, John bought out his shares, and then Katherine Laurienti joined their team. John and Katherine got married, and she became responsible for running the company.
Shortly after Katherine's husband John passed away, she won a contest with DeluxeCorp. They contributed $15,000 to spend on marketing and the guidance of a marketing mentor for a year. With their help and advice, Katherine successfully launched North Denver Sausage. This company is a tribute to Katherine's late husband's dry sausage recipe and is also our way of remembering Italian traditions of celebrating with friends and family.

Many cultures have perfected different ways of curing or preserving meat. Our dry sausage comes from an Italian tradition of curing pork using only salt and air. We do not cook our sausage like commercial sausage makers do because all artisanal producers know that would change the flavor. Our drying process results in a beautiful sausage with deep, complex flavors that requires no refrigeration and has a practically unlimited shelf life.
Dry sausage is versatile and can be served in any setting. We recommend pairing it with your favorite wine, cheese, or bread. Contact our team here at North Denver Sausage if you have any questions.
The process of making dry sausage has not changed very much over the years. At North Denver Sausage, we like to keep things simple. We work in small quantities to ensure the highest quality and give every batch the love and attention it deserves.
The only thing that has changed is the upgraded equipment. We now ship our dry sausage all over the country. Our facility adheres to USDA guidelines and is subject to regular inspections. The sausage we produce hangs in a climate-controlled room, which means it is now available all year. Place an order today!

I recently found the best sausage I have ever had, and it's available no matter where you live. The "Sausage Queen" has mastered it. This dried sausage has the perfect amount of spices and also has a little bite that everyone can enjoy. Whether you eat it with a piece of bread, with a little mustard, or, my favorite, just by itself, you and your friends will enjoy it. It is perfect for parties or just as a snack.

Personally, I LOVE the sausage! It has such a rich, intense taste with quite a spicy kick - and we love spicy kicks here in south Louisiana. It is difficult to stop tasting it, and it is quite a treat. I can't wait to share it with some special friends that we're having over soon, as I know they'll also enjoy it immensely.

After living in Michigan most of my life, I got hooked on smoked hunter's sausage. Then I moved to Texas and got hook on the different kinds of jerky. Dried Italian sausage combines the best of these two flavors together. As a fan of meats everywhere, this is one of my favorites!
