Buy Sausage & Ham Online

Sausage Specialties for Every Taste

From spicy salami to crispy grill sausages, Lyoner, merguez, chorizo, and ham: If you’re looking to buy sausage online, you’ll find a wide selection of different sausage products and smoked specialties at Kreutzers. The assortment includes products for a classic snack as well as sausages for the grill, cold cuts, raw sausage, and international specialties.

Depending on the type of sausage, the production method, texture, and flavor vary significantly. A aged salami, for example, has a completely different character than a delicate Lyoner or a juicy grilled sausage. That’s why it’s worth choosing sausages not only based on the type of meat but also on the production method and intended use.

What types of sausages are there?

Sausages can be categorized, among other things, by how they are produced and preserved. The following groups are particularly relevant for selecting products in the online store:

Sausage Type	Examples	Typical Use
Raw sausage	Salami, chorizo, Pfefferbeißer	Snack, appetizer, antipasti
Boiled sausage	Lyoner, Vienna sausage, meat sausage	Snacks, hot and cold dishes
Grilled sausage	Merguez, cheese sausages, bratwurst	Grill, pan
Cooked and spreadable sausages	Liver sausage, blood sausage	Snacks, savory dishes
Ham & smoked meats	Raw ham, bacon	Snacks, breakfast, cooking

The definitions may vary depending on the recipe and production method. Therefore, the product specifications are always decisive.

Salami and raw sausage

Salami is one of the best-known raw sausages. As it cures, its texture changes and its flavor becomes increasingly concentrated. Depending on its origin, type of meat, and seasoning, the flavor profile ranges from mild to bold.

At Kreutzers, for example, you’ll find French and Italian salami, chorizo, Pfefferbeißer, and other aged sausage specialties. The current selection includes, among others, Pur Porc salami, Salami Milano, Salami Campagnolo, and Iberian chorizo.

You can browse even more specifically in the Salami & Raw Sausage category.

Cooked Sausage and Cold Cuts

Cooked sausage is distinguished by a different production method and consistency than aged raw sausage. Numerous well-known varieties belong to this large family of sausages.

In the Kreutzers selection, you’ll find, among others:

• Lyoner and Paprika Lyoner
• Beer-cured ham
• Hunting sausage
• Beer sausage
• Meatloaf
• Other cold cut varieties

This selection is particularly well-suited for breakfast, dinner, and a classic snack. Depending on the item, the products are available whole, pre-portioned, or sliced.

You’ll find a suitable selection under “Snacks & Cold Cuts.”

Grill Sausages and Sausages

For many people, bratwurst and grilled sausages are just as much a part of a BBQ as steak and burgers. At Kreutzers, the selection goes beyond the classic bratwurst.

Currently, for example, you’ll find cheese sausages, merguez made from lamb and beef, chili cheese brats, Griller sausages, Munich white sausages, and Vienna sausages.

Especially with grilled sausages, different types of meat and spice blends add variety:

• Merguez for a bold, spicy flavor
• Cheese sausages for a hearty combination of meat and cheese
• Chili Cheese Brats for an extra kick
• Classic Griller sausages for a hassle-free BBQ
• Weißwurst and Vienna sausages for traditional dishes off the grill

You’ll find the full selection under “Grilling Sausages & Hot Classics.”

Ham, bacon, and smoked specialties

In addition to classic sausages, this category also includes ham and smoked meat specialties. Kreutzers currently offers, among other things, Iberian cured ham, Black Forest ham, prosciutto, and sliced bacon.

Raw ham is particularly well-suited for a snack, antipasti, or a cold platter. Bacon, on the other hand, can also be fried and used, for example, for breakfast, burgers, or hearty dishes.

You can find more products under Ham & Smoked Specialties.

Raw sausage, parboiled sausage, or cooked sausage?

These terms describe different methods of sausage production.

Raw sausage is made from raw meat and fat and preserved through aging or other processes. Well-known examples include salami and various types of Mettwurst.

Parboiled sausage is heated after production. Examples include Lyoner, meat sausage, and many small sausages.

Cooked sausage is made from pre-cooked or heated ingredients or is heated again after production. Classic examples include liver sausage and blood sausage.

The production method affects the texture, flavor, and storage requirements. That’s why you should always check the information on the product packaging for each sausage specialty.

Which sausage is right for which occasion?

With such a wide variety of sausages to choose from, it helps to start by considering how you plan to use them:

Occasion	Suitable Sausage Varieties
Snack & cold cut platter	Salami, dry-cured ham, Lyoner, cold cuts, liver sausage, Pfefferbeißer, chorizo
Grill & Pan	Grilled sausages, merguez, cheese sausages, bratwurst, chili cheese brats
Cooking & Seasoning	Bacon, chorizo, meat sausage, Vienna sausage, hearty smoked meats

Here’s how you can order your sausages online without relying solely on the name of a particular variety.

Discover International Sausage Specialties

Sausage is by no means just a German thing. Many regions of Europe have their own recipes, spice blends, and curing methods.

In the Kreutzers selection, for example, you’ll find Italian salami, French salami, Spanish and Iberian chorizo, raw-cured ham, and merguez. At the same time, German classics like Lyoner, Weißwurst, Vienna sausages, liver sausage, and various grilling sausages are available.

This allows you to put together a classic German snack platter, a Mediterranean antipasto platter, or a barbecue with a variety of international sausages.

Making Your Own Sausage

If you’d like to delve deeper into the art of butchery, you can also make your own sausage. In addition to suitable meat, you’ll need the right seasoning and, depending on the type of sausage, casings and other supplies.

Kreutzers has a dedicated “Make Your Own Sausage” section where all the necessary products and ingredients are grouped together.

This way, you can decide for yourself which meat blend, spices, and recipe to use for your own bratwurst or sausage specialty.

Storing Sausage Properly

How long sausage lasts depends heavily on the type and packaging. A dry, aged raw sausage has different storage requirements than fresh grill sausage or pre-sliced cold cuts.

As a general rule:

• Follow the storage instructions on the packaging
• Refrigerate products that require refrigeration immediately upon receipt
• Store opened packages in the refrigerator in a protected container
• Pay attention to the use-by or best-by date
• Store frozen products according to their labeling

A one-size-fits-all shelf life for all sausage products would therefore not be appropriate.
