Experience The Essence Of Culinary Excellence
LC Salaisons' factory, a three-generation family business, is situated in Roiffieux, Ardèche, which is a mountainous region. In 1947, the Chaillot brothers, who had been involved in the pig trading family business for many years, established Léon Chaillot, the most renowned cured meat factory in the province.
Their secret lies in meticulously selecting only the finest cuts of fresh French pork meat and allowing it to mature for an extensive period. With an impressive production capacity of 7500 square meters, LC Salaisons annually produces approximately 1200 tons of charcuterie.
Rather than adopting an overly industrial approach to charcuterie products, the company prioritizes preserving the authenticity of a centuries-old heritage. To achieve this, they specialize in developing saucissons that undergo a slow maturation process in dryers. These saucissons acquire a distinctive flavor infused with forest mushrooms, thanks to the natural flora present within the drying environment. The uniqueness of their recipes stems from their use of exclusively natural casings, fresh meat, a prescribed resting period before stuffing to enhance salt penetration, and a meticulous slow drying process accompanied by regular quality checks.
Furthermore, the company holds ISO 22000 certification, an internationally recognized food safety management system. This certification aims to standardize global requirements for food safety management within organizations operating in the food chain. ISO 22000 is particularly suited for organizations seeking a comprehensive and cohesive food safety management system. It mandates compliance with all relevant statutory and regulatory food safety obligations through the implementation of a robust food safety management system.
Due to their unwavering commitment to perpetuating traditional, deliberate, and controlled production methods, LC Salaisons has been honored with the title of 'PRODUCTEUR ARTISAN DE QUALITÉ' by the culinary college of France.
A Gastronomic Journey
LC Salaisons' delightful range of products offers three distinct recipes: "IGP Ardèche," "Montagne," and "Bio"
The PGI Ardèche saucissons embody the essence of French excellence. They are meticulously crafted from pigs that are exclusively born, raised, and expertly prepared in France, following a traditional Ardèche recipe. These products carry the prestigious VPF certification (Viande Porcine Française - French Pork Meat), which ensures adherence to rigorous standards overseen by an independent authority. Indulge in their unmistakable flavor, delicately spiced with hints of garlic and pepper, and savor a bite of the culinary heritage of Ardèche.
On the other hand, Montagne saucissons epitomize the harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship. These saucissons are carefully crafted using pork sourced from free-range pigs that roam the picturesque mountainous regions of France. Raised on small family farms and nourished with cereals for at least 75% of their feed, these pigs thrive amidst their natural surroundings. From the rearing of the pigs to the processing at our renowned Léon Chaillot factory, every step of the production takes place in the serene mountain areas. The result is a milder taste, delicately balanced in its saltiness, accompanied by a tender and intricate meaty flavor unique to fresh, free-range pork.
Embracing its commitment to organic farming, LC Salaisons' proudly present Bio range. These saucissons are exclusively crafted from meticulously selected French ingredients and encased in natural casings. They undergo rigorous scrutiny from an independent body, ensuring compliance with the strict regulations of "Organic Agriculture" as dictated by European standards. Experience the purity and goodness of their organic offerings, which serve as a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality.
Each recipe, whether it's IGP Ardèche, Montagne, or Bio, is available in three distinctive shapes: the Short Saucisson (saucisson sec), the Curved Saucisson (saucisse sèche courbe), and the Long Saucisson (Le Barou). These variations provide a range of options to suit every taste and occasion.
For their Food Service Range, the brand offers two exceptional recipes: IGP Ardèche and Montagne. These products are crafted with care and aged to perfection, utilizing natural pork casings and the finest fresh French pork meat. The outcome is an unparalleled culinary experience that delights even the most discerning palates.
