Angelos Old World Italian Sausage is a local company that has been using a family recipe since around since 1933.
Angelo Argento immigrated from Sicily to Fayette County, WV in 1911. At the age of 13 he found work underground in the coal mines. After 13 years, at the age of 26 Angelo left the mines to open a meager general store (see pic). Angelo's wife, Sarafina (Sarah), also worked in the store where she shared her family's sausage recipe from the Old World. The store grew into a supermarket (Angelo's Market) and it's keystone product, Angelos Sausage, drew people and restaurant owners from miles around. Today, the sausage is made in small batches by the family of Angelo and Sarafina using the same Old World recipe and artisan care to maintain the authentic flavor and genuine heritage of a TRULY Italian Sausage.

The local sausage is sold at Johnnie's Fresh Meat Market at the Capitol Market, as well as local Piggly Wigglys.
They were recently doing samples at the Capitol Market - and you gotta try some for yourself!
