Olympia Provisions Cooked Italian Pork Sausage is a flavorful tribute to the old-world traditions of Italian butchery. Made with humanely raised pork, fennel, garlic, oregano, and a touch of chili flake, these sausages deliver a rustic, hearty flavor that’s both bold and balanced. They’re fully cooked and ready to heat, making them a versatile ingredient for both simple weeknight dinners and more elaborate dishes.
To prepare, score the sausages with a sharp knife and sear in a hot pan with a bit of oil for a beautifully crisp exterior. You can also grill them or cook over an open flame to enhance their smoky, aromatic qualities. Once cooked, their uses are nearly endless: slice and toss with blistered cherry tomatoes, basil, and spaghetti for a classic Italian pasta; tuck them into a crusty roll with sautéed peppers and onions; layer them on top of polenta or risotto; or slice thin for a topping on pizza or flatbread. Their well-balanced flavor also makes them a standout addition to soups, stews, and grain bowls.
Founded in 2009 by Elias Cairo in Portland, Oregon, Olympia Provisions has become one of America’s most celebrated charcuterie producers. Cairo, a first-generation Greek-American, grew up around charcuterie and honed his craft through apprenticeships in Europe before bringing those time-honored techniques home. Olympia Provisions is committed to quality and sustainability, using only humanely raised pork, natural casings, and slow, traditional processes. From dry-cured salami to classic sausages, their products reflect a deep respect for heritage, craftsmanship, and exceptional flavor.
