It’s the Texas-German smoked sausage made in Fredericksburg, fully cooked, ready for the grill or the skillet, and the two chains carry different parts of the line, so it’s worth knowing which is which.

What’s in the case

Don’t see your flavor? Ask for it.

Grocery buyers listen to shoppers more than most people think. If your store carries Opa’s but not the flavor you’re after, ask at the meat counter or the customer service desk. A named request (“Opa’s Hatch Green Chile Smoked Sausage”) is the strongest signal a store can get. And if it’s ever missing entirely, the online store ships every smoked meat to your door, cold-packed.

Ships cold, anywhere

Can’t get to a store, or want something your store doesn’t carry? Every smoked meat ships cold in an insulated box, anywhere in the U.S. Texas orders ship Monday through Wednesday.
