SAINT NECTAIRE
The Product
Auvergne Dry Sausage is a traditional French charcuterie from the Auvergne region, protected by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Made from seasoned pork (salt, spices, garlic), naturally dried, and often tied in a horseshoe or U shape, it is ideal sliced for an aperitif or with bread. Its production adheres to strict specifications guaranteeing its quality and authentic taste.
Origin & Terroir
From the volcanic plateaus of Auvergne's Monts Dore, where the unique terroir - altitude, grass species, mineral-rich soil - creates distinctive milk for this ancient cheese.
How to Enjoy
Serve at room temperature to appreciate the earthy complexity. Pairs with Auvergnat wines (Côtes d'Auvergne) or Beaujolais. Excellent melted in aligot or simply on crusty bread.
