Summer Sausage

They are both cooked and smoked using natural hickory sawdust. The significant difference between the two is the type of meat used. Our beef sausage uses 100% beef and the Ozark uses a blend of beef and pork.

Our original summer sausages described above require refrigeration. Through a fermentation process, we now have our Ozark and Beef Summer Sausages available as shelf-stable. This allows for the convenience of storing without the need for refrigeration until the package is opened.

Even though the recipes are virtually the same as their refrigerated counterparts, the flavor is altered somewhat. Through the fermentation process, the summer sausage acquires a unique tanginess that some people find desirable.
