Saucisson Sec D’Auvergne | Local Sausage/Salami From Auvergne, France | TasteAtlas

Saucisson sec d’Auvergne

Saucisse seche d'Auvergne is a variety of thick, dry cured sausage that originates from Auvergne, a region in central France well known for its long tradition of agriculture, farming, and meat curing. This particular sausage is made exclusively with sow meat, which differentiates it from saucisson sec d'Auvergne, another variety made with regular pork meat or a mixture of pork and beef.


The prized sausages from Auvergne are all handmade and matured for about two months. They are traditionally coarsely chopped into thick slices and enjoyed with home baked bread and a slice of Brie cheese.
