Saucisson sec

Saucisson sec is a traditional French dry cured sausage made from pork, typically seasoned with salt, garlic, pepper, and other spices. The curing process involves salting and air-drying the sausage over time, which preserves it and develops its firm texture and robust flavor. It is usually sliced thin and enjoyed as part of charcuterie platters, paired with bread, cheese, or wine. Its flavor can range from mildly seasoned to more intensely spiced, and it’s valued for its rich taste, heritage craftsmanship, and versatility in numerous culinary contexts.
