I am among the third generation of Furtado's in a family owned operation started by my grandfather in 1903. He was Caetano Furtado, a sausage-maker in Portugal, who immigrated to Fall River, Massachusetts in 1900.

He opened his Chourico and Linguica plant, introducing his delicious sausage products in the United States. Grandfather's reputation for using only the best meats, family treasured recipes and quality ingredients guaranteed great Chourico and Linguica every time!

Today, we continue the same fine tradition of excellence established by my grandfather over 90 years ago. Try the "Old World" flavor of our Chourico and Linguica...you'll be glad you did!
