Disappointed
Same as earlier reviewers.  Seldom disappointed in what I receive from here, but this sadly wasn't worth the expense. The meat is still excellent quality, but this is the farthest taste from true Italian sausage.  If that's what you're wanting this doesn't hit the mark.  Still haven't been able to finish the package.

Excellent Mild Italian Sausage
Precooked, traditional seasoning and convenient. Great taste. Wish they had a spicy version. Will be ordering more for sure.

Definitely NOT Italian!
Dry and tasteless. The Italian pork sausage I usually get at the supermarket doesn't have sugar, but they have plenty of fat and flavor (and fennel). I was just looking for a better quality meat.

The recipe is wrong
These are not Italian sausages.  There is no garlic, oregano, nothing to give an Italian taste.  My favorite pizza topping is Italian sausage...this is not it.  And there is entirely too much smoke flavoring, without enough of any discernible spices.  I love you guys, USWM...but this is not your best effort.  You need a new recipe for Italian sausage for both your beef and pork varieties.  At least the beef variety is wonderfully tasty breakfast sausage (although not Italian flavored).  The pork recipe is lacking.  I'm going to try the Polish sausage next.  I love your clean, grass fed beef, and will continue to patronize your organization. And, with so many offerings, nobody's going to be happy with everything you offer.  But, you really do need a new Italian sausage recipe.

convenient!
I actually really like the fact they're cooked, makes it super easy to bring to work. As for the taste, I think it tastes great but I'm sure some onion or other condiments would make it better.

Warning!
First, let me say the flavor of these sausages were very good. Second, let me admit that (in my rush) I thought these were the same fresh italian sausages we’ve purchased in the past.Having said that, I put them on a plate and handed them to my husband to put on the grill. BAD IDEA. These ARE fully cooked with a natural casing that doesn’t do well grilled. The casing becomes more like leather. LOL! According to customer service they become dehydrated with dry heat. Neither of us could chew them, so we spent the beginning of our meal peeling the casings off. I took the two remaining sausages and put them in a pan and boiled them for lunch the next day. They were better, but still NOT anything like the fresh sausages we’re accustomed to from this company. So, lesson learned... we’ll wait and purchase those when they’re back in stock. :-)

Dellicious
Rich, dense and tasty. Not overly seasoned or salty with good texture. Most of the flavor is from beef and fat and for a super taster like me that is enough to satisfy.

Did not enjoy this one.
This was way too salty for my taste buds.

so delicious!
These are my favorite sausages. I understand the negative reviews because they DO taste more like kielbasa than italian sausage but they are so tasty and flavorful. We grill them up all summer long!

TERRIBLE
I was so excited to receive these, so I could put them into my homemade marinara sauce. First of all, they are PRECOOKED. They are NOT raw. They resemble something like a bad kielbasa. If you want something for the grill, I recommend the sugar free bratwurst which grill up nicely. Oh well, I tried. But largely a waste of money.

*USWM- We are truly sorry that you were not satisfied with this product. I do see that we have issued you a refund for the product. In the product description on the website it states, Our fully cooked Sugar Free Italian Pork Sausages are the perfect addition to casseroles or gumbo! We do try to be as accurate as possible in our descriptions online. If you feel there is anything else we can do for you regarding this matter please feel free to reach out to us! Warmest regards!

Hot dog with fennel
These are not Italian sausages by a long shot. The only seasoning in common with an Italian sausage would be fennel. This is more like a smoked sausage or a heartier, greasier hot dog. If you want something to serve with sauerkraut, this is it, but don't even think about making a marinara sauce with this or putting it anywhere near pasta.

Don't get me wrong, they're not BAD. But don't expect to get a traditional Italian sausage. I do appreciate that they are grass-fed, but  they certainly weren't what I initially expected. My mother loves them on a bun with sauerkraut, but I repeat: NOT AN ITALIAN SAUSAGE. Might just be a case of mislabeling. Maybe if they were called something else, people wouldn't be unpleasantly surprised.

*From USW Meats- We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us! We are sorry for your disappointment. The pastured, fully cooked Pork Sausages are a quick heat and serve product we like to keep on hand. We apologize that they came in under expectations. We have issued a credit for the Pork Sausage on last year's order. We encourage you to keep trying new items, as we are always happy to credit any products you are not fully satisfied with for any reason. Cheery regards, The US Wellness Meats Team

I love these
I'm also not an expert on Italian anything.  I bought the Italian pork sausages to try something new.  My 81-yr old mother and I find these tasty pan-fried in a little ghee.  I might have tried boiling them the first time; I think they'd be blander that way.  

I thought these would be a little too spicy for her, but my mother is fine with them.

I've ordered these a couple of times over the last year or so, and will continue as long as they stay this tasty.  Hard to please everyone, so try one package on sale and see how they taste to you.  You won't have wasted your money since, whether you like them or not, you've still paid for pork raised the optimal way and are getting high-quality meat.

Sugar free
I have to limit my sugar and products like this give me more options, finally can eat healthy sausages, please don't change the recipe. Love all you sausages. I'm disappointed I did not find the polish, are you still selling it?

*From USW Meats- Thank you for your kind words! We are big fans of the Sugar Free Sausages too. We offer Sugar Free Polish versions in both beef (links and sliders) and pork varieties. The easiest way to locate these on the website may be to type "polish" in the search box. Please reach out if we may help! Cheery regards, The US Wellness Meats Team

Italian or not they're great
Typically I don't leave reviews but I was shocked that these had less than two stars! I'm not an expert on Italian sausage so I'm unsure how it compares, but regardless I love the flavor. I fry them up in my pan to eat solo or cut them up to use them in casseroles.

Agree with previous reviewer
I'm normally really impressed with the us wellness meats offerings. Our family is Paleo, so having a solid source for sugar-free, responsibly-farmed meat has been wonderful.

That said, I have to agree with the other reviewer for this particular product. We'd love to have an Italian sausage that we could purchase, but bland, over-smoked kielbasa is a pretty accurate comparison for this product. It's strange that it misses the mark so much, which is why I thought I'd add my 2 cents. We love your breakfast sausage, hot dogs and bacon, and the flavors of all of these are pretty true to expectations. Please consider changing up this recipe!!

Italian???
So disappointed. These taste NOTHING like an Italian sausage. There are no discernible flavorings or seasoning, except an acrid smokey taste. More like a bland kielbasa sausage with way too much smokey flavor. It is fully cooked, not the plump, juicy sausage pictured on the product description! I write this not to be overly harsh or critical, but because as someone on a Paleo diet, I am willing to spend extra money for high quality meat products, but definitely can't afford to waste it on products like this!

*From USWM- Thank you for supporting us and taking the time to share your honest feedback! We are sorry for your disappointment with the Italian Pork Sausages.
