HOMETEYSSIER, AMBITION AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1871
Since 1871, Teyssier has produced dry-cured sausages and hams with the greatest respect for traditional artisanal techniques in the heart of the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park in Saint-Agrève (Southeastern France).
This rare expertise guarantees the superior quality of Teyssier products.
Teyssier Salaisons are sold exclusively by Stalaven to the finest butchers, delicatessens, and caterers.
Teyssier started out in 1871 as a small delicatessen founded by Victorin Teyssier and his wife in Saint-Agrève. Over the years, Maison Teyssier has developed its expertise in producing dry-cured hams and sausages.
Established on the Ardèche plateau for five generations, the company contributes to the region’s economic development by employing local residents and sourcing only fresh, French meat from regional breeders, wherever possible.
Situated at 1,136 meters in the heart of the Ardèche Mountains Regional Natural Park, Teyssier is the highest dry-cured meat producer in France. Each sausage and ham is individually dried and matured in outstanding conditions in the pure, fresh air.
TEYSSIER,
IN THE HEART OF THE ARDÈCHE MOUNTAINS
Teyssier is one of the last dry-cured meat producers in France to still use traditional techniques.
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 create 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 earned the brand numerous awards over the years. Since signing up to the Paris International Agricultural Show in 2008, Teyssier has won 37 medals, including twe bronze medals and one silver medal in 2024.
RARE EXPERTISE
Teyssier draws on its expertise to create innovative, delicious and ambitious 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.
Recently, two new sausages were added to the sausage range:
- AOP Parmesan Sausage: a unique flavor sausage on the market, with beautiful highlights of AOP Parmesan aged 12 months. A very delicious product, ideal for aperitive plate.
- Mild brewed chorizo: recognized on the market for its particular expertise in chorizo, Teyssier offers its signature recipe for strong brewed chorizo as a mild version. A skillfully spicy recipe, cooked with sweet paprika and a note of oregano. Teyssier is thus the only cured meat maker to offer the choice of two spice intensities in this brewed format, typical of the proximity network. Perfect to taste or cook!
