Located in: Meats/Seafood, Cured Sausages

Les Trois Petits Cochons started in 1975 as a small charcuterie in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, where founders Alain Sinturel and Jean Pierre Pradié cooked and offered pâtés and other French specialties to the neighborhood gourmets. They soon received rave reviews by such notables as Craig Clairborne, Mimi Sheraton, James Beard, and others. Once word got out, they began making pâtés for other restaurants around Manhattan. By 1990, demand forced them to expand their operation. Today, they make their pâtés in their kitchen, House of Bricks, located in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Les Trois Petits Cochons is recognized for its excellence as a leader in the specialty food business and industry it helped to create. They use all-natural, high quality ingredients, and craft small, handmade batches.

Their Saucisson Sec is a pork sausage, naturally air-dried. Made from a time-honored recipe from the mountains of France.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Saucisson Sec:

Whatever ingredient or method it is that makes French saucisson that unique taste, this sausage doesn't have it, unfortunately. It tastes like fine Italian salami, but it isn't saucisson.

Bad French, decent sausage

Comments about Saucisson Sec:

This is pretty good, but I've had better. French sausages of this type tend to be better. This is trying to pass itself off as French, but somebody should have told them that the French for Three Little Pigs is Trois Cochonnets, not Trois Petits Cochons.

Comments about Saucisson Sec:

This is pretty good, but not all that much better than the summer sausages you can find almost everywhere. The duck salami also sold on this site is far more tasty, exotic, and luxurious.

This is fantastic...a family favorite!

Very hard to find in the US, Saucisson Sec is appreciated wherever you can find it. This is an OK value for the money. It is not super dry, but has a good flavor.

We are slowly eating our way thru a number or dry sausages of various origins to compare. So far, this is the best one, very intense flavor without being greasy. Great with a baguette and a rich red wine.
