Teyssier
Teyssier Salaisons, founded in Saint-Agrève in 1871, is a renowned French company known for the production of ham and dried sausages. Originally a small butcher's shop, Teyssier has dedicated itself to the Ardèche salting tradition and built up know-how over the generations.
The company is deeply rooted in the Ardèche terroir and contributes to the local economy. They mainly use fresh meat of French origin and their products are aged at 1100 m altitude in the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park.
Teyssier is one of the last large curing companies in France and was awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (living cultural heritage company) label in 2012 and 2017. They stick to traditional techniques, such as manual salting, drying on wooden frames and stuffing in natural casings, and combine these with innovations to develop new recipes.
