German Knockwurst — also spelled Knackwurst — is a plump, fully cooked pork-and-beef sausage with the satisfying "snap" that gives it its name. Ours is prepared to a traditional German recipe right here in the USA and shipped fresh from our New Jersey warehouse, so you get authentic German flavor without the wait.

What Is Knockwurst?

Knockwurst is a short, thick German sausage, typically made from a finely ground blend of pork and beef and seasoned with garlic and traditional spices. The name comes from the German knacken — "to crack" or "snap" — describing the audible pop of the firm casing when you bite in. It's a close cousin of the frankfurter, but shorter, plumper, and more robustly seasoned.

What's in Our Knockwurst?

Ours is a fully cooked, uncured blend of pork and beef, seasoned much like our frankfurters. Each pack contains four sausages in an approximately 1 lb package, made by The Alpine Inc to a traditional German recipe in the USA. We use high-pressure processing (HPP) — cold water under high pressure — to extend shelf life naturally, without added preservatives.

Knockwurst vs. Knackwurst — What's the Difference?

Essentially none — they're the same sausage. Knackwurst is the traditional German spelling, while knockwurst is the Americanized version you'll see in US delis. Either way, you're getting the same garlicky, snappy pork-and-beef sausage.

How to Cook Knockwurst

Because our knockwurst is fully cooked, you're simply heating it through. Simmer gently in hot (not boiling) water for 8–10 minutes, or pan-fry, grill, or griddle until browned and hot all the way through. Serve in a roll with mustard and sauerkraut, or alongside potato salad for a classic German plate.
