Raw Saucisse de Toulouse
Saucisse de Toulouse or "Toulouse Sausage" is a fresh sausage originating from Toulouse in the southwest of France. It is made from pork (75% lean, 15% belly), salt and pepper, has a natural casing of about 3cm in diameter and is usually sold in a coil (like Cumberland Sausage). It does not normally contain preservatives.[1]
It is an ingredient of most Cassoulet recipes and is also served grilled or confit.
Saucisse de Toulouse does not have a protected status so variations on the original recipe can be sold under the same name. Producer's organisations have proposed a Label Rouge designation for the product.[2]
