Gaspar’s – Portuguese Sausage Since 1923

 

Gaspar’s……”The Portuguese Sausage that the whole world can enjoy!”

“You don’t have to be Portuguese to love Linguica and Chourico”

When Manuel A. Gaspar emigrated from Portugal to the United States in 1912, he brought with him a desire for a better way of life, as well as his skill and recipes for making those traditional Portuguese smoked sausages (Linguica and Chourico).

Little did he realize then, that four generations later, the Gaspar family would still be making those delicious sausages according to his original recipe and standards of quality.

 

For nearly a century Gaspar’s Sausage Co., Inc. located in North Dartmouth, MA. has been recognized as the largest manufacturer of Portuguese smoked sausage in the United States. It has become the largest manufacturer of Portuguese sausage in the country, producing well over three million pounds each year.

Located in Southeastern Massachusetts, the name Gaspar has become synonymous with sausage.

Today, this family owned business continues in the same tradition of its patriarch by producing their Linguica and Chourico according to this time-tested recipe.

Gaspar’s Linguica and Chourico are readily available at all major supermarket chains throughout New England and can also be found in parts of New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and Bermuda.

 

Today, all of Gaspar’s products can be enjoyed anywhere in the United States through the company’s mail order/Internet division.

So, whether you’re originally from New England or simply someone whose taste buds enjoy the unusual, call Gaspar’s at 1800-542-2038 and indulge yourself or someone special with a truly delectable experience. You’ll be glad you did!!

LINGUICA: Similar to kielbasa but with its own unique flavor, Linguica (pronounced lin-gwee-sah) is a mild pork sausage still manufactured according to an old Portuguese recipe. It is a fine blend of lean pork with a mixture of such basic spices as vinegar, salt, paprika and garlic. Stuffed into a natural casing, Linguicais then smoked until the special flavor and federally required temperatures are reached. Gaspar’s Linguica comes in many shapes and sizes. The Linguica franks and patties are great on the grill, and the Bite Size cocktail franks make a great appetizer. It even comes ground which makes a great pizza topping!
CHOURICO: Made from the same good meats as Linguica, Chourico (pronounced shoor-reese) has a heartier spiced flavor. Its main difference from Linguica is that it is a hot sausage whereas Linguica is mild. Gaspar’s Chourico is available in mild, regular and extra hot versions and the regular is available as round patties, franks, and ground in addition to the traditional sausage shape!

    My fathers side of the family is Portuguese…all 16 of them. So many memories of family and food. My grandmother taught my Mom to cook Portuguese and Mom taught me. I published my own cookbook for family which includes many Portuguese dishes. My daughter will be teaching her daughters. Unfortunately most of the family has passed but we do have the many, many meals.
