Tips
Its large diameter changes the product. Slower drying gives a softer, less dry texture than an ordinary dry-cured sausage, with a very similar composition.
4.56 g of salt per 100 g. Six slices, or 40 g, provide 1.8 g of salt, more than a third of the daily guideline. This is the point that really matters with this product.
Slice it thinly, that is the rule. With a large-diameter sausage, the temptation to cut thick slices is strong. A 2 mm slice gives as much flavour for half the weight.
It counts towards the processed meat guideline. 150 g a week, all products combined, according to the Programme national nutrition santé.
Serve it with raw vegetables, not cheese. Gherkins, radishes, tomatoes: they add volume and water without adding salt, unlike cheese or olives.
Pregnant? Raw cured meats and cooked meats kept chilled are not recommended during pregnancy; anything cooked and served hot is allowed. See the list in our guide to cold meats and pregnancy.
