Saucisson sec Pur Porc des Cévennes
What characterises the pure pork saucisson of the Cévennes?
An artisan saucisson, 100% pure pork, from the heart of the Cévennes, made with rigorously selected meat and following ancestral traditions. Its appeal lies in its clean flavour and its balance between lean and fat.
What does « pur porc » saucisson mean?
« Pur porc » means that the saucisson is made from pork alone, with no other meat mixed in (beef, poultry and so on). It must also contain at least 80% lean pork. It is a mark of authenticity and of charcuterie tradition: with us, that meat is also 100% French.
What is the difference between the Ardèche PGI saucisson and the Cévennes saucisson?
The Ardèche PGI saucisson holds a Protected Geographical Indication: origin and making in the Ardèche under a precise set of specifications and the traditional recipe of 1779. The pure pork saucisson of the Cévennes is a 100% pure pork product from the neighbouring Cévennes area, made with the same craft but without the PGI label. The difference therefore lies mainly in the area of origin and in the certification. One other difference: weight. The Ardèche saucisson weighs 230 g, while the pure pork saucisson of the Cévennes weighs 170 g.
