Crisps and Saucisson Sec

Home/2 Starters/Crisps and Saucisson Sec

Saucisson or saucisson sec is a family of thick, dry-cured sausages in French cuisine. Typically made of pork, or a mixture of pork and other meats.  Serve sliced with some chips in a bowl and maybe another bowl of olives on the side of the cutting board.  In the US, Olympia Provisions makes great saucisson sec.

Belsia chips are made from Létourville farm potatoes, in the heart of Beauce. Hand-sorted, sliced, cooked in small quantities in a cauldron, then lightly salted with Ile de Ré salt and seasoned with Provencal herbs and tomatoes. Gluten free, preservative free, artificial flavor, palm oil free.

Balsia chips is my French friends’ favorite, with “No gluten, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, without palm oil.”
