\"Lombardis<\/a>Rarely have I been able to find out so little about a product that I really wanted to share with you – I’m that excited about it. “Lombardi’s” is apparently a small\/boutique\/artisan <\/em>sausage maker out of Chicago, which may or may not be owned by a\u00a0small packer named Roma.<\/p>\n

I have to say “may be owned”<\/em> because I can’t find a reference to that one way or another, but I was able to determine that Lombardi’s is made in the small Roma plant. (Pictured below).<\/p>\n

Various business sites list Roma has having sales of less than $750,000 annually, and between 5-10 employees. That’s a labor of love.<\/p>\n

Speaking of love, I adore this product, Lombardi’s (Hot) Italian Sausage. Check out the ingredient list: \u00a0Pork, Water, Salt, Sugar, Spices, Paprika. Wow. Fantastic, huh? \u00a0Well, I think so.<\/p>\n

The flavor is terrific, texture is perfect, and the casing makes for a great snap, if you’re having on a bun, whether you cook on the stove top or grill.<\/p>\n

I made half the package like that and bunned them with kraut, and the rest I stripped the casings off of and pinched pieces to dot the top of a home made pizza. Superb. Bravo. Really.<\/p>\n

But this company is so small, you’ll probably not be able to share my enthusiasm, unless you’re in the Chicago area and spot the sausages in a local supermarket. \u00a0I found mine at Woodman’s<\/a>, a regional chain in Wisconsin and Illinois.<\/p>\n

I love<\/strong> these babies.<\/p>\n
