As someone who regularly makes the trip for their fresh sausages, I can tell you that their dedication to traditional recipes and methods makes all the difference in the flavor. Let me share everything you need to know about this beloved Oregon meat market!

The Shop Experience

When you walk into Mt. Angel Sausage Company, you’re immediately greeted by the inviting aroma of smoked meats and freshly made sausages. The shop maintains a classic German deli atmosphere with its:

I just visited the newly renovated Mt. Angel Sausage Company, and wow – what a transformation! The expanded display and deli area has really elevated the whole customer experience. Let me share my recent visit with you.

Renovated Display Room

The moment you step in, you’ll notice how much more spacious the deli area is now. They’ve clearly put thought into the customer flow, with more room to browse their expanded selection. The renovation has transformed the space into a more modern, customer-friendly environment while still maintaining that authentic German deli charm.

Excellent Service Experience

One of the standout improvements is the increased staff presence. During my visit, there were multiple helpful employees ready to assist customers. At the deli counter, I had the pleasure of sampling some of their sausages – a nice touch that helps you make informed choices. The staff’s knowledge and willingness to help really enhanced the shopping experience.

Lunch Review: Chicken Fricadelwurst

I tried their chicken fricadelwurst for lunch, and it was a delightful choice. This German-style chicken sausage showcases their expertise in traditional sausage-making. The selection of products is notably larger now, giving customers more options than ever before.

The renovation has successfully modernized the space while preserving the authentic character that makes Mt. Angel Sausage Company special. With more room to shop, expanded product offerings, and attentive service, they’ve created an even better destination for German meat and deli enthusiasts.

Signature Products

Their sausage selection includes:

  • Traditional German Bratwurst
  • Polish Sausage
  • Variety of smoked sausages
  • Specialty seasonal offerings
  • Custom orders available

Each sausage variety comes in either links or rope style, giving you flexibility for different cooking methods.

Perfect Grilling Guide

Having just grilled their Italian sausage ropes on a Weber charcoal grill, here’s my tried-and-true method for perfect results:

Preparation:

  • Remove sausages from refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling
  • Set up your Weber for two-zone cooking (coals on one side)
  • Let coals turn gray with ash before cooking
  • Clean and oil grates to prevent sticking

Grilling Process:

  1. Start sausages on the indirect heat side
  2. Close lid and maintain temperature around 350°F
  3. Turn sausages every 5-7 minutes
  4. After 15 minutes, move to direct heat for finishing
  5. Grill over flames just until nicely browned
  6. Look for internal temperature of 160°F

Pro Tips:

  • Don’t pierce the casing during cooking
  • Use tongs instead of a fork to turn
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
  • For rope style, curl the sausage like a spiral on the grill
