Where to Find the Best Charcuterie in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Fab and her husband Frederick “Ricker” Schmitt started Creole Country in 1979, the Mid-City sausage company still run by their son, Vaughn and his partner, Deanie Bowen. Cajun charcuterie, from alligator and andouille sausage to tasso and hogshead cheese, is the specialty here, slow-smoked, cured, and vacuum sealed. Guaranteed, you’ll take that gumbo to higher heights with andouille made here, the old-fashioned way. The hogs head cheese is Deanie’s recipe — bright with lemon and available mild of spicy." - Beth D’Addono

We had an amazing experience at the shop. The gentleman that helped us was very kind and explained all the different items they had. We really appreciate his patience and understanding since we are from up north lol. Will definitely be ordering online when we need more.

I have been enjoying hogshead cheese since the 60s, when I first was introduced. I would rate yours above all that I have tasted from New Orleans to Mamou. Congrats on a fantastic product!

I went here based on a referral from a tour operator, and they did NOT disappoint. I knew before I walked in it was legit local and old school. Exceptional staff, very helpful. I had a million questions, and they were very patient and made recommendations that were on point. I filled up a cooler with sausage, tasso & hog head cheese, and drove it back home to Georgia. Everything was top quality. My favorites have been the Tasso and the Green Onion Sausage.

Best cured meats in town. You know you are in the right spot when you walk through the door and it smells right! BUT here it tastes even better

I wanted to try sausage boudin and they gave me a sample and it was delicious. I walked away with a pound of it! It has excellent flavor and some heat but no so much that your mouth is on fire.

Great homemade sausage, all kinds of sausage. I was thrown off at first, we took an uber to the location and walked in and there were people sitting at a table and I thought we had accidentally walked into someones home, it sits in a neighborhood so it is an actual home. We told them we there for sausage and they got up and showed us around. Showed us all the facilities where they make the sausage and all the different types they have and where they keep them. They gave us the grand tour without us asking for it. Very nice folks. As we were walking around, the mom came in. She is super nice. She told her son to heat us up some samples and we talked with her for a while. They are both very personable people. The mom told us she was in her upper 60's I believe but she barely looks 50 and moves quick as a rabbit. Anyway, the sausage was great, we purchased as much as we thought we could fit into our luggage to take back home with us. We will definitely be back for more sausage next time we are in New Orleans. If if this sausage was terrible I would give them a good review because they were truly nice people, but the sausage is great so everyone wins.

I'm not sure about this place I was looking for some Gator sausage to take back to Texas with me but when I arrived it looked like a house or garage that was closed

Now this place brings back some great memories. My Mom who is no Novice in the kitchen would go here a couple of times a month to pick up various Sausage and Meats for Gumbo, Red Beans, Jambalaya you name it. Now I'm partial to the Alligator Sausage but the Crawfish Sausage is right up there. This is a great family run business that's been serving Families and Businesses in New Orleans for many many years. Had a chance to stop by yesterday before flying out today. The place looks a little different, but Katrina couldn't take away or change the quality and service of Creole Country. I felt like a Tourist when I asked when they were going to start selling Boudin. To my surprise they have been for some time. My response was, "A dozen Links please" I should tell you that when buying you'll be instantly hooked and grocery store Sausage will no longer do. Let's just say that my bags will be 15 pounds heavier for the flight back to Texas. The absolute best!

Absolutely the worst sausage head cheese and boudin so bland I paid $169.00 for shipping food I can't eat not worth it these people and reviews must be from friends. Not worth it I know better places in New Orleans have better sausage and boudin I'm sure don't order from here. I'm going to trash it.

Just so no one is confused (like I was), this is not a restaurant. It is a sausage factory. No place to sit down and eat, but a place to buy the best sausage around. I met Vaughn who is a super nice guy. He cooked me some samples so I could make up my mind. I sampled 5 different sausages and they were all excellent. The chicken andouille is the best I have ever eaten. So next time your in NOLA, load the address in your GPS and pay them a visit. You won't regret it.

The folks were awesome and had already saw our out of state license plate. The Crawfish Sausage was our fav. We will be back.

The smoked chaurice sausage is incredible. It is quite spicy and Creole Country is the only vendor I know that makes it in the New Orleans area. The crawfish and green onion sausage is also very good.

My new gift shop! I know its a little wierd, but the families are in MIchigan and CA, and are both big foodies. Funky sausages always make them happy- especially the Chaurice and Andoullie. Alligator and Crawfish always get their attention- especially when I can reveal that when I dropped in to buy their gifts, they fresh wrapped it for me right then. The staff are always really friendly and helpful- throwing lagniappes all over the place. Pricing couldnt be better considering the quality and fact that it cant get any fresher! They're also available in most local markets- but dont both checking at Rouses, they refuse to sign on with them!

I work at a restaurant that serve's Creole Countries boudin sausage, but I had forgotten how delicious it really is, until last week. I sell this stuff all the time and rave about how wonderful it is to my guests but hadn't had a taste of it in close to a year. Anyway, I was working a late party, serving hand-passed appetizers. On one platter lay an array of Creole Countries Boudin Sausage balls. As I was running from the upstairs kitchen to the downstairs party with my little platter of sausage balls I decided to sneak one off the tray (and I'm glad I did because it literally melted in my mouth.) This boudin is fabulous. It is tenderly seasoned and wonderful when fried. The dueling textures of soft and crunchy create the most harmonious bite. I don't know much about what goes in to making boudin, all i know is that it is the softest sausage I've ever had. Thinking about Creole Countries boudin now, as I write this, I can't shake the memory and flavor of bell peppers and celery; creating such a nice balance of vegetable and meat. I think that is why it was so good, because the flavors were so well balanced against one another. Truly handcrafted. I see Vaughn (Creole Countries owner) at the restaurant often either dropping off the goods, having a drink at the bar or a bite to eat, so I get the chance to chat with him regularly. The dedication and pride he has for making sausage comes through in most of the conversations we have. It is his art and his calling. I haven't had any of the other sausages that he makes, but I'm sure they are just as melty-in-your-mouthy as the boudin. I've listed them below: Andouille Smoked Sausage Smoked Sausage Hot Smoked Sausage Green Onion Smoked Sausage Green Onion Crawfish Sausage Smoked Pork Tasso Smoked Alligator Sausage Smoked Chaurice Sausage Smoked Boudin Hogshead Cheese Chicken Andouille Sausage The factory itself is a reverted shotgun in Mid-City. I've never been, but after tasting the boudin it makes me want to check out his other sausages. So...my goal for this week is to make it down to CC for a tour and a taste of the other sausages that Vaughn has been linking up. Because (seriously folks) his boudin truly is, as good as it gets.

This place is such an amazing hidden gem in New Orleans. Friends who live down the road made sure to bring my boyfriend and me there during our visit. We tried a little of everything and they were all so tasty, but the Smoked Chaurice was the big winner in my book.

I have bought Creole Country andouille for over 6 years and can say it is the best andouille made in the state, the other sausages Vaughn produces are also incredible, I have never made it to the store, even though I have had many invites (job demands) but I can say if you want the best go to Creole Country. By the way their Alligator sausage makes a killer gumbo!

Great experience and delicious sausages. The owner, Mr. Schmitt treated us like old friends cooking us up a batch of samples including the alligator sausage, chaurice, boudin, and tasso ham. All delicious and made with fresh quality meats on the premises.

I was nearly run off the road by a driver from Creole Country Sauage. This driver almost crashed into my car, proceeded to honk their horn at me and other drivers, weaving in and out of traffic on a fairly residential street, exceeding speeds of over 65 mph. I contacted the company three times via phone and once via e-mail and have never heard a response. Perhaps the drive was in a hurry to deliver sauage before it went bad but I can't support a company that has such little regard for the safety of others and such a poor customer service policy. I hope this driver doesn't seriously injure someone someday.

Yes, they have delicious products: the chaurice and the alligator sausage are excellent and fresh. However, their pricing is crazy and it depends who waits on you. There is a man (the owner?), who gives you fair price and throws in lagniappe; then there is a woman who overcharges everytime!!!. Just this week she was charging $8/pound alligator sausage, but the man was charging $6 just the day before and exactly the same product was $6.99 at Martin's Wine Cellar (and you know that Martin's is expensive) ! They only accept cash, so you have to wonder about their inconsistent pricing.
