Saucisse de Morteau is a traditional smoked sausage made from pork meat that is stuffed into a natural pork intestine casing. It is produced in the Franche-Comté region in France, where the locals are experts in smoking the sausages in numerous traditional smokehouses throughout the region.
The pigs are ethically and sustainably reared, and fattened in a traditional manner, without forcing the animals. The sausage is slowly smoked over beech wood, where it develops its firm, tender, and smooth texture, along with the typical meaty and smoky flavor that is well balanced without being bitter or too intense.
On the palate, the sausage must be firm and juicy. The real Morteau sausages always have a small piece of wood attached at one end, along with a ring proving its authenticity. Enjoy it with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut for a traditional dish.
