10 Savory Sausage of the Month Clubs

Almost every country has its unique cultural version of sausage, which is what makes sausage of the month clubs so appealing. With literally thousands of sausage varieties and flavors available worldwide, there is no better way to experience a large variety of sausages than signing up for a monthly sausage subscription.

But, before we talk about the clubs, let’s briefly delve into the past.

The history of sausage spans back to Mesopotamia in 3100 BC. Before there were refrigerators, people needed to find a method of preserving meat and using salt was a standard and safe process. Plus, back then, nothing went to waste, so scraps were made into sausage.

Though the Sumerians of Mesopotamia were the first to create sausage, people all over faced the same challenges of preserving meat and using the scraps. Thus, the sausage was invented and not just in Mesopotamia, but in different cultures all over the world. Though the basics of sausage were the same, ground meat mixed with salt, the sausages produced would not have tasted the same due to the various meats used as well as the many different spices.

Thousands of years later, in 1000 BC, the people of Turkey created Sujuk. Sujuk is a dried sausage that tends to be on the spicy side and commonly contains sumac, garlic, cumin, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Sujuk is still created to this day.

The next earliest sausage making adventures were seen in old world China, in 580 BC, where the sausage was called Lap Cheong. Lap Cheong now refers to Chinese sausage as a generic term, instead of one specific sausage variety. However, most Lap Cheong is a dry hard sausage often made from pork.

There are many other parts to the sausage-making story and countless varieties of sausage across the globe. That variation is what makes sausage of the month clubs such a fun idea.

Esposito’s Finest Quality Sausage Club Membership

Esposito’s Finest Quality Sausage, founded in 1933 in New York City, has been serving the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood for more than 85 years. The shop first opened under the name Giovanni Esposito and Sons and was initially a butcher shop featuring fresh meat and poultry.

Over the years, the sons took over running the business and soon realized the need to cut the company in half. They separated the butcher shop from the sausage side of the business to better focus on sausage production and distribution. This resulted in the creation of Esposito’s Finest Quality Sausage Company, a wholesale manufacturer and distributor of sausage.

In 2000 the family decided to sell to new owners who would preserve the quality and culture of the business. Today, the company is still running strong, and it has expanded its services online so that more than just the local area could have the opportunity to purchase direct and have their favorite sausages delivered conveniently to their home.

For those who love Esposito’s Finest Quality Sausage, they now offer a sausage of the month club for $59.99. This sausage subscription includes five pounds of pre-selected sausage each month. You can sign up for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Members save 20% on average, for every box of sausage.
