Rare expertise celebrated by the Living Heritage Company label

Teyssier is one of the last cured meat producers in France to continue using traditional techniques. Its rare expertise was recognised by the Living Heritage Company label in 2012, and renewed in 2017.

Perpetuating ancient traditions guarantees exceptional product quality:

• The meats are trimmed with a knife to remove the nerves as finely as possible.
• Embossing in natural casing determines the shape and weight of the sausages. Unlike artificial casing, this technique enhances the development of flavours during maturing to produce a unique, authentic end taste.
• The cases are hand-tied according to traditional production methods.
• The dried hams are hand salted with lard and Ardèche PDO chestnut flour to enhance aromas and contribute a soft texture.
• The hams are dried on wooden frames to ensure intense, oaky flavours emblematic of the Maison Teyssier brand.

The unique flavours of Teyssier products have received numerous awards over the years. Since signing up to the Paris International Agricultural Show in 2008, Teyssier has won 24 medals, including 3 bronze medals and 1 gold medal in 2019.

A living heritage company that innovates to meet new consumer demands

Teyssier draws on its expertise to create innovative, delicious and daring products that reflect the latest consumer demands.

It was in this spirit that the “Fine lean long sausage” range was founded. Made according to traditional techniques, these light and authentic dry cured sausages contain 35 to 40% less fat compared to standard sausages.

In 2019, two new products were added to the existing sausage range:

• The 1871: a reworking of the original Teyssier sausage recipe. Made from a combination of pork and beef, as practised on the high plateaux in the 19th century, the 1871 sausage is infused with aromatic herbs and spices and serves as a real homage to dry curing traditions. For lovers of characterful sausages
• The heart of Saint-Agrève: Shaped like a heart, the new flat, casingless sausage delicately infused with pepper expresses all the expertise of Maison Teyssier with an innovative, stylish twist! A sausage worth sharing and discovering over an aperitif!
