Saucisson de Lacaune

Saucisson de Lacaune and saucisse de Lacaune are meat products made from pork and boar meat. The difference between the two is a small one - one is a sausage, the other one a salami. They are produced in the French region of Tarn.

The products are dried and packed in natural intestines, while the sausage can be curved, straight, or wrapped around a stick (in order to dry better). They have a firm, yet supple texture, and when sliced, one can see lean red to dark red meat on the interior.

The flavor of these products is that of dried, matured meat with a distinctive peppery note and very little greasiness. The meat is seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg before the drying process. Enjoy it in sandwiches or serve it with cheese.
