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 Garlic Sausage is a tender, hearty, fully cooked pork sausage. Made with lots of garlic; the addition of a hint of white wine makes this saucisson perfect.

Comments about Saucisson a l'Ail:

This was great. Raw garlic mixed with fatty creamy pork sausage. First taste took me by surprise, as I was expecting a sooth roasted garlic flavor, but instead encountered a sharp raw garlic bite that burned just a bit. Once accustomed to a little heat, this sausage made a great sandwich, after adding a bit of mustard, spinach and cucumber. Highly recommend if you like garlic and are not on a diet:)

Really enjoyed this. Awesome Garlic [...]

A fabulous little sausage, full of juicy garlic and pork flavors! Hard to stop eating once you have the first slice. I serve it to friends all the time, with great success,at cocktail parties, although on a baguette with Dijon mustard it is irresistable! So classic and French!

Comments about Saucisson a l'Ail:

If you like European style sausages and a taste of garlic, order extra or you'll be disappointed when someone finishes it off when you're not looking. I order at least one extra for my wife as she can't resist sneaking a few nibbles before the guests arrive.

Too much garlic

Bottom Line:

Comments about Saucisson a l'Ail:

The product tasted very good, but I won't buy again as my husband reeked of garlic for more than a day after eating it as is. It would be good to use for seasoning beans instead of eating it like salami.
