The Deli Almanac · Vol. LX

The Cloverdale deli that's smoked its own sausage since 1963.

Hansel Deli is a family-owned European deli on the same Cloverdale corner for more than sixty years — famous for its house Kolbassa, smoked meats and a shelf of Scandinavian goods you won't find anywhere else nearby. This is an unsolicited concept site by X9 Lab Media; the photos are placeholders, the rating is the shop's own.

IThe Case Index

Everything across the counter, listed plainly.

A working index of what the family makes and stocks. Cut to order — the shop sets its own daily lineup.

House Kolbassa

The signature ring — smoked and cured in-house on the original family recipe.

Smoked Hams & Bacon

Slow-smoked pork, hams and bacon, carved fresh from the case.

Cured & Dry Sausage

Salami, dry-cured links and snacking sticks from the rack.

European Cold Cuts

Continental-style cold cuts and deli cheeses, sliced by the gram.

Scandinavian Breads

Dark rye, pumpernickel and seeded loaves — the everyday staple.

Pantry & Imports

Mustards, pickles, tinned fish and the hard-to-find imported goods.

IIThe Plates

Three things worth the drive.

The signature

House Kolbassa, by the ring.

Smoked and cured the old-world way, the house Kolbassa is the reason regulars drive across Surrey. Sliced thick for the board or coiled by the ring to take home.

Cut to order

Smoked meats from the case.

Hams, bacon, smoked pork and continental cold cuts — carved fresh at the counter, never pre-packed. The deli way, kept honest for six decades.

From the shelves

Scandinavian goods that taste like home.

Dark rye and pumpernickel, mustards, pickles, tinned fish and imported pantry staples — the small, specific things you can't get at the supermarket.
