Old Wisconsin is built on this foundation, and it can still be tasted today in our quality and slow, hand crafted approach to sausage making. Sheboygan was a natural place to start. The unique climate on the shores of Lake Michigan is perfect for sausage making. With that knowledge, Old Wisconsin began as Thielmann’s, a small sausage shop owned and operated by Frank Thielmann and William Stolzman. Even today, we still use many of their high-quality sausage recipes. Due to increased demand, we opened our first plant in 1953 and changed our name to Thielmann’s Old Wisconsin Sausage Company shortly after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/sota\/c659fc7d-e2bc-410f-a0f5-f6a6bf4ec187.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/sota\/2ca68bae-9dc0-46aa-ba03-fd89f24f75fd.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/sota\/be58478a-ac40-4bb7-b389-d1eababe096d.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOld Wisconsin's new Hot \u0026amp; Spicy Sausage Sticks are a perfect way to add a little kick to your everyday snacking occasions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Hot \u0026amp; Spicy Sticks are naturally hardwood-smoked and packed with a bold flavor blend of Serrano, Jalapeño, and Red Peppers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe handcraft our sausage snacks with only the most premium cuts of meat, with no binders, fillers, or extenders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e90 Calories, 5g Protein, and 0g Sugar per serving\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResealable package - for maximum freshness, refrigerate after opening\u003cbr\u003eNaturally hardwood-smoked and packed with a bold flavor blend of Serrano, Jalapeño and Red Peppers, Old Wisconsin's New Hot \u0026amp; Spicy Sausage Twisted Snack Sticks are a perfect way to add a little extra kick to your everyday snacking occasions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIngredients\u003cbr\u003ePork, Beef, Salt, Contains 2% or less of: Spices including Mustard, Dextrose, Yeast Extract, Lactic Acid Starter Culture, Garlic Powder, Natural Flavorings, Sodium Nitrite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItems Details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"geo-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I keep the unopened pouch in my office desk drawer for weeks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
