Saucissons are a type of air-dried sausage popular in various French-speaking countries, especially France. The name "saucisson" is derived from the French word "saucisse," which translates to "sausage."
Saucissons are often served as an appetizer, snack or part of a charcuterie platter and can be enjoyed in thin slices or chunks.
Saucissons are typically made from pork, but can also contain beef or game. The meat is mixed with salt, spices and sometimes wine or garlic to enhance the flavor.
The sausage is then air-dried in natural casing, which gives it a firm texture and an intense flavour.
There are different variations of saucissons that can vary in flavor and texture. Some are delicately seasoned and mild, while others can be heavily seasoned and spicy.
