How do you recognize a good dry sausage?

A "good" sausage is not too soft. Excellent quality sausages contain at least 80% lean pork, and 20% fat, which is very white. “Pure pork” meat is a guarantee of superior quality. This means ham, usually the pork's thigh, or the long one (which is found on either side of the animal's spine), and fat from the pig's back, also called the bardière. As for the casing, it is made with the intestine of the pork.

The great subtleties of an aging process

In addition, a "good" dry sausage must show visible signs of aging. The work of time, during the drying period of the product, manifests itself on the exterior appearance of the sausage, by a white or slightly grayish powder. It is not a question of naively (and wrongly) thinking that this powder comes from a flourish, which would be pure bluster! The subtlety of the aroma, the special flavor of dry sausages, comes from what is called the "white flower". This white substance is a bacterial growth that occurs on the surface of the sausage, much like the bacterial cultures found in yogurts and cheeses. These microscopic organisms not only help make dry sausages taste great, but they also keep them safe. Dry sausages are salted, fermented, and sometimes even smoked.
