Jack Link's Saucisson
What it is
Saucisson is a type of dry-cured sausage originating from France. This particular version is a ready-to-eat snack, typically made from pork and seasoned with a blend of spices. It is cured to preserve it and develop its characteristic firm texture and rich flavor. The sausage is often encased in a natural or artificial casing.
How people cook with it
This saucisson is a convenient and flavorful option for snacking or adding to charcuterie boards.
- Snack on its own
- Add to cheese plates
- Slice for sandwiches
- Serve with crackers
To enjoy, simply unwrap the saucisson and slice it into desired thicknesses. It can be eaten directly from the package as a portable snack. For a more elaborate presentation, arrange slices on a platter alongside cheeses, olives, and crusty bread. It also works well as a component in a charcuterie board, complementing other cured meats and accompaniments. Its firm texture makes it suitable for slicing thinly for sandwiches or dicing into salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh sausages that require cooking, saucisson is dry-cured, giving it a firm, dense texture and a concentrated flavor. Its extended curing process also means it can be stored at room temperature before opening, unlike many other types of sausage.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a savory, portable snack or an addition to a casual gathering will appreciate this saucisson.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining saucisson tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the opened product within a few days to maintain its freshness and texture. Ensure it is kept cool.
