Opa's Sausage Sampler
Six varieties. Two mustards. One full Opa's tour.
The Opa's Sausage Sampler brings together six pounds of our most popular smoked sausages — Country Blend, Beef, Jalapeño Cheddar, Jalapeño, Hatch Green Chile, and Chicken Poblano Monterey Jack — paired with two Fredericksburg Farms mustards from the shelves at our Deli & Market. Each sausage is crafted in small batches and fully cooked, ready to warm on the grill, in a skillet, or slice cold.
Build a tasting flight that walks guests through bold to balanced, traditional to Texas — pair the Beef with sharp German Stone Ground Mustard, the Country Blend with Dusseldorf for a heritage plate, and the Hatch Green Chile or Chicken Poblano with avocado for a Tex-Mex morning. Set the variety onto a board with sharp cheddar, pickled okra, crusty bread, and crackers, or grill a mix at a backyard cookout for guests who want to pick their favorite. Each pound makes about four servings, so the sampler covers a small dinner party or a week of weeknight meals.

Medium heat, never high. Turn it often, and don't prick the casing — the snap is the point. Let the links sit out 10–15 minutes first; they heat more evenly.
Grill: medium heat, indirect, 8–10 minutes, turning often.
Skillet: ½ inch of water, bring to a simmer, about 12 minutes turning often. Pour the water off and give the links 1–2 minutes dry — that brings the color and the snap back.
Oven: 375°F on a baking sheet, about 10 minutes, flip halfway.
Air fryer: 300°F, no preheat, single layer, 7 minutes, no turning.
Coins: slice ¼ inch — one link gives 14 to 16. Sheet pan at 375°F about 6 minutes, turning halfway, or air fryer at 300°F about 4 minutes.
Microwave: not recommended — it toughens the casing.
The Jalapeño Cheddar and Chicken Poblano Monterey Jack run a little lower — high heat pushes the cheese out. The mustards keep in the pantry until opened, then in the refrigerator.
Keeping it: refrigerate the sausage — without exception. Unopened, good through the best-by date on each package. Opened, airtight in the refrigerator for 5–7 days. Freeze by the best-by date — good for up to a year.
We ship our smoked meats the way we'd want them to arrive: cold, fresh, and packed to handle the trip. Everything that leaves Fredericksburg goes out in a reusable insulated box with reusable ice packs, by UPS, anywhere in the United States — the continental U.S., plus Alaska and Hawaii.
When we ship
Because we're sending perishable food, timing matters. Texas orders ship Monday through Wednesday by UPS Ground; out-of-state orders ship Monday and Tuesday by UPS expedited service. We ship early in the week on purpose, so your order isn't sitting in a facility over a weekend. Need it sooner? Overnight shipping is available for an additional charge — just call us at 830-997-3358 before your order ships and we'll set it up.
Why we don't offer free shipping
Free shipping always has to be paid for somewhere — usually by raising product prices across the board. We'd rather be straightforward about it. Getting perishable smoked meat to your door in good condition takes insulated packaging, ice packs, and quick transit, and that carries a genuine cost. So instead of folding it into the price of everything, we calculate shipping at checkout from the size and weight of your order and where it's headed. You see exactly what it costs, and you only pay for what your shipment actually needs.
When your order arrives
As soon as your order ships, you'll get a confirmation email with tracking — keep an eye on it so you can bring your box inside promptly. When it arrives, move everything into the refrigerator or freezer as soon as you can. One thing worth knowing: if the product is cool to the touch, it's safe, and some melting of the ice packs along the way is completely normal — the insulation and ice are sized to keep your order cold for the trip, not to arrive frozen solid. And both the box liner and the ice packs are made to be reused, so keep them for your own coolers, picnics, and Hill Country road trips.
If something isn't right
If your order arrives damaged or warmer than it should be, reach out within 24 hours of delivery at info@opasfbg.com or 830-997-3358. Include a couple of photos and a brief description of what happened, and we'll work with you to make it right.
