About Morteaux sausage

Morteau sausage is a smoked pork sausage associated with the Franche-Comté region of France. It is typically a thick, firm sausage in a natural casing, with a savoury pork flavour and smoky aroma. The traditional product is often sold uncooked and requires cooking; products bearing similar names may differ in style or status.

It is commonly simmered or otherwise cooked before serving, and can be used sliced or as part of a meal. The spelling “Morteaux” is commonly used informally for Morteau sausage, but the catalogue name alone does not establish that a specific protected or traditionally made product is intended. Smoked and cooked states should be distinguished.
