Teyssier Salaisons, founded in 1871 in Saint-Agrève, is a renowned French company known for producing ham and dry sausages. Originally a small butcher shop, Teyssier has dedicated itself to the curing traditions of the Ardèche and built up expertise over generations.
The company is deeply rooted in the terroir of the Ardèche and contributes to the local economy. They mainly use fresh meat of French origin, and their products mature at an altitude of 1,100 m in the Regional Natural Park of Monts d'Ardèche.
Teyssier is one of France's last major curing companies and was awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company) label in 2012 and 2017. They adhere to traditional techniques, such as manual salting, drying on wooden racks, and stuffing into natural casings, and combine these with innovations to develop new recipes.
