This hot Italian sausage has the perfect balance of zesty and peppery flavors. Made from pure lean pork and a special blend of spices. Best when grilled, pan fried or braised. Try slicing over pasta or onto homemade pizza for a savory treat.

Esposito’s Finest Quality Sausage has been cranking out delicious, old-school sausages at the same location in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen since it was founded by Giovanni Esposito and his sons in 1933. The undisputed champ of the sausage world (even meat king Anthony Bourdain waxed poetic), this generations-of-family-run New York butcher takes great pride and care in handcrafting sausage in flavors ranging from bratwurst to Irish bangers to classic hot and sweet Italian sausage.
