Don’t bother trying to find anything out about this product online, I spent a bunch of time doing that and came up pretty short. \u00a0I can’t even tell you exactly where I purchased it, other than a suburban Chicago grocery. \u00a0So a lot of this should be prefaced with “apparently.”<\/p>\n

This product is made in Harvard, IL, it seems by Jones Packing Company, which started in 1952. \u00a0Harvard is the most distant NW suburb reached by commuter rail in the Chicago area. \u00a0A pic of (apparently) Jones is below.<\/p>\n

According to the USDA establishment number of the package, the product is actually produced at Roma Packing, Inc., in Chicago. (pic below).<\/p>\n

This is a pure pork sausage, described on the package as “hot.” \u00a0It comes in a clear vacuum pack, and contains the same types of herbs and spices one would find in traditional “hot” Italian sausage, i.e. fennel.<\/p>\n

I split the package in two, and fried half of it until it was crumbles, and used it to top a home made pizza last night. \u00a0The balance was made into patties for breakfast this morning.<\/p>\n

In both cases, the product pleased me very much. \u00a0It’s a very fine grind, so it is easily chewable. (Some pork sausages seem “tough”). \u00a0The flavor is outstanding, and there is a little bit of heat, as advertised.<\/p>\n

I’ll buy it again if I can find it. \u00a0One story I read referred to Jones Packing having their own retail store, which I’ll go check out.<\/p>\n
