Michigan Originals – Rinaldi Sausage

by | Jun 27, 2024 | LBN Food, Michigan Originals

Nick Perrone and his business partner Vince Palazzolo have made a conscious decision to remain Michigan-based. Their company, operated out of Shelby Township, makes fresh – never frozen – sausages that are free of nitrates, MSG, corn syrup and other additives, and typically gluten-free as well. They’re made from fresh meat within 24 to 48 hours of arrival at the Shelby Township processing center, and then shipped to stores. Rinaldi offers 14 flavors of sausages, including the popular motor city sausage, with garlic, anise, paprika and cayenne, and the coney brat with cheese, which offers all the flavor without the mess. Find Rinaldi Sausages in Kroger and Meijer meat counters, Hollywood Market, Papa Joe’s and other independent stores.
