Alexian began in the Black Forest of Germany, in the 16th century. This is where the earliest member of the Groezinger family was first known to be associated with the creation of outstanding meat products. The Groezinger of this generation was Ewald, Alexian’s founder, who sought to introduce his culinary heritage in America. Opening his own processing plant, he quickly became well-known within the industry. Ewald introduced unique specialties that are now nationally distributed under his own brand: Alexian.
THE ALEXIAN TRADITION CONTINUES ANEW
The company is run today by Laurie Groezinger Cummins and is recognized as “A Certified Woman Owned Business Enterprise”. The family tradition of excellence continues to this day in every aspect of Alexian’s operation.
MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
Alexian. Fresh, Natural, Sinful.
The motto for the brand exemplifies their philosophy and its benefits to the consumers: Alexian is good for you and your taste.
Alexian has made the commitment to preparing its pâtés, mousses and terrines in a completely natural manner: Alexian used only the freshest, safest, most wholesome ingredients: real eggs, fresh vegetables, fresh dairy and very lean meat.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
All natural: no preservatives, fillers, artificial colors or artificial flavors. In keeping with their business philosophy, Alexian has expanded its policy to making sure that all game, meat and poultry ingredients used pâtés are certified to be free of growth hormones and free of antibiotics. This includes the dairy as well. Furthermore, Alexian requires certification from the vendors they utilize for such production purposes.

Also available from the Alexian Smokehaus are the best cuts of meat...lean, single muscle. We do not chop and re-form our meats so there is no grizzle, or seam and no fat, except for a gentle marbling characteristic of the quality of the meat. Each piece is seasoned with natural herbs and spices and then hand trimmed, tenderized and smoked...yielding extraordinary taste and tenderness. Alexian meats do not contain MSG.
