Alex`s Meat Kielbasy Krestyanskie

Delicious

In the USA one is hard tasked to find quality, authentic kalbasa. Schmaltz's on the East Coast. Mikolajczik's (Polana) in Chicago. Srodek's in the Detroit area. This sausage ranks in quality with them. It is what I know as Moscow style. Very good - will buy again. A cut above, say, Kowalski. While the various ear and snout, scrap meat and organs, lard garbage (Think hot dogs made into a type of Slavic sausage) of Ekrich, Hillshire Farm, Oscar Meyer, etc. are not in the same league as this smoked sausage. Of course, if that and how that is spiced is what someone is used to, that is what someone should buy. But if you prefer traditional kalbasa with a natural casing made from good cuts of meat, this is a delicious, quality product. And quality is worth paying for. I would ask the makers to perhaps consider a little more garlic. I personally prefer chopped or coarse ground to medium or fine ground. Making a blackened casing, Russian hunters' variety would be nice.

I wish there was information on contents and how to heat , cook or roast best. ...

I love this kielbasy but there is a problem with the shipping method. The first time it was shipped with an ice pack that was partially melted but it was nice and cool. The second time it was shipped without any ice - while we were home, UPS didn't ring the bell so it sat outside the door for over 13 hours. While it is smoked, and the weather was not hot, I wouldn't like this to happen on a summer day (plus I don't know how long it was in transit)

Living in deep south Texas there's allot of sausage. Everykind you can imagine. I'm born & raised on long Island in NY. I've looked far & wide to find the real deal in kielbasa. This is it ! The shipping could be better but the flavor is right on time. GOOD STUFF. Waiting for two rings to arrive today. 🍻

Having worked in a German Pork Store in NY for over a dozen years, imagine my surprise when I opened this package and saw the very sausage we sold as a subset of our Brand… This advertised as Alex’s Meat as the manufacturer, came from Brooklyn. The package was simply double wrapped in usps plastic, then a cardboard envelope. Luckily, I’m in Denver, so it stayed cool. The mailing label said shipped from Massachusetts, so who knows what is going on there. Being in this business, it’s likely he paid for his name on the label… all in all, good sausage, the smell is the same as it was for that decade, though I have serious doubts as to why I paid 25.00 ea for two rings. I’ll not order again, if for no other reason than improper shipping and refrigeration, regardless of who actually made it.

The Polish Sausage was as advertised and as good as the reviews I read. There were no surprises when the package arrived because the reviews ere forwarding of the lack there of. The sausage was great tasting with great bite and texture. I would like to see more to eat for the price. The proportions are the right size for a taste but not for much of a meal. I will likely purchase again.

It has the great flavor I remember from when I was a kid in the 1950s through 1970s. Shipping was a possible problem because the ice pack in the package was not frozen. But it was in good condition. It’s a thick kielbasy like I remember. It’s not raw and a bit of warming in a microwave creates some dripping fat. I am 50 percent Belorussian, 1/4 Russian and 1/4 Ukranian because of my grandparents and they would have loved it. (In Polish it would be pronounced Kielbasa) Update: delivery conditions have been criticized in the past. But the delivery two days ago (7/30/22) was wonderfully changed. It was packed in a styrofoam chest with frozen ice packs. Great job.
