Cheese sausage

What is a cheese sausage?

Cheese sausage is a charcuterie made from finely minced pork into which pieces or a filling of cheese are folded. The mixture is then cased in a natural casing before being dried using traditional artisan methods. The result is a striking contrast between the robust flavour of the cured meat and the milky softness of the cheese.

Making this product calls for particular know-how. Artisan charcutiers carefully select the ingredients: top-quality meat, matured cheeses and carefully measured spices. The marriage of flavours is built during drying, the period in which the aromas develop and harmonise to create an incomparable taste.

Temperature and slicing

Take the sausage out of the fridge some twenty minutes before serving so the aromas can express themselves fully. Use a well-sharpened knife to cut thin slices, around three to four millimetres thick. That fineness lets you enjoy the meat and the cheese at the same time.

Recommended accompaniments

Cheese sausage often stands on its own, but a few accompaniments elevate the tasting. Lightly toasted country bread, crunchy gherkins or a handful of fresh walnuts are classic pairings. For a more original touch, try it with dried fruit such as figs or apricots.

Drink pairings

Fruity red wines from the Rhone valley or Beaujolais go harmoniously with this speciality. White wine lovers can opt for a Cotes-du-Jura or a lightly oaked Chardonnay. A blond or amber craft beer is another interesting alternative.

Nutritional benefits

Rich in quality protein, it also provides calcium thanks to the cheese, as well as iron and B-group vitamins from the pork. Like all good things, it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, given its fat and salt content. See our product sheets for detailed nutritional values.
