Corsican charcuterie

Corsican charcuterie online sale: the best of Corsican gastronomy delivered to your home!

An integral part of Corsican gastronomic heritage, the Corsican charcuterie invites you on a gourmet and exotic taste journey. Guarantor of the traditions and know-how of the Isle of Beauty, the Corsican sausage and the Corsican charcuterie are historically distinguished by the ancestral manufacturing process.

When Corsican charcuterie is produced in the traditional way, its marketing varies according to two very distinct seasons:

• The so-called “cool” season, located between November and March, after the slaughter of the nustrales pigs. During this period, it is mainly figatelli sausage , from Corsican sausage or even fresh lonzo which is made.
• The “dry” season, between April and September, where we will find a range of Corsican charcuterie requiring additional maturing time: dry coppa and lonzu, Corsican sausage refined.

The real one Corsican charcuterie draws its origin from the mountains located in the interior of the island. These mountains, rich in charcuterie traditions, illustrate Corsica's gastronomic heritage.

In time, the starting point of a good Corsican charcuterie began in choosing the breed of pig used for making the Corsican sausage . These Corsican pigs, also called “nustrales” pigs (literally meaning “ours”) are a breed endemic to the Isle of Beauty. Raised in semi-freedom in the scrubland, they are fed chestnuts, acorns, fresh grass, roots and ferns, in addition to the food provided by the breeder. This diet gives a specific flavor to the meat.

It is during the last phase of breeding, called “finishing” that the pig produces its very particular fat that we find in the Corsican charcuterie such as the lonzo or the coppa . It is during this finishing stage, generally in autumn, that the pig feeds exclusively on acorns and chestnuts, bringing a fruity and marbled taste to the fat.

Even though, traditionally, Corsican charcuterie is made from these famous Corsican pigs, there are unfortunately not enough nustrale pigs on the Isle of Beauty to feed all the lovers of Corsican charcuterie of the continent.

The essential Corsican sausage: figatellu

The jewel of Corsican gastronomy, the figatelli is a sausage made from liver, meat, lean and fat of pork. Dried for several months, the figatelli sausage can be eaten cooked, roasted over a wood fire or raw as an aperitif. Cooked, the figatellu exudes aromas of garlic, notes of spices and wine.

The lonzu

Made from pork loin, the Corsican lonzu sausage is recognizable by its thick slice of fat which constitutes ⅓ of the slice. It is this fat so significant, full of flavors, which brings this taste of hazelnut and smoked butter to the Lonzo sausage .

Corsican coppa

Made from the pork loin, Corsican coppa is characterized by its thin, round and creamy slices. Salted and dried in a natural casing, the Corsican coppa is peppered on the surface after the salting stage. When cut, the slice reveals a perfect balance between subtle veining of fat and lean pork.

Corsican wild boar sausage

THE Corsican wild boar sausage is made from wild boar shoulder. The Corsican sausage with wild boar is perfect for lovers of rustic charcuterie!
