History

In 1914, Anna Cerrone migrated from Sicily to Ellis Island, and eventually settled in Magna, Utah. In 1918, she met Rocco Polidori, a coal miner who had fallen ill and together they moved to Denver for better air quality and possible wealth. In 1925, they opened a butcher shop. Anna and Rocco eventually had two sons (Louis and Augie), and by 1945, they worked for the company as well. For the next 37 years, Louis and Augie grew the shop into an industry which was sold and moved to a USDA facility after Anna's death in 1982.[3][5][2]

Products

Polidori Sausage sells packaged meat (specifically pork) products atsupermarkets.[5][2] Cinnamon and nutmeg are sometimes used as ingredients.[6]
