NEPTUNE, NJ – Known for its all natural products, Alexian is adding smoked sausage to its specialty foods lineup. Like the rest of Alexian's products, Saucisson Smoked Sausage is all natural, meaning that it contains no added preservatives, no arti?cial ingredients and is minimally processed.
The result is a smoked sausage with all the ?avor – but without the added sodium nitrite and sodium erythorbate – of typical smoked sausages. Alexian chose the name Saucisson to re?ect the product's European heritage. Typically made of pork, or a pork blend, saucisson is a type of charcuterie popular in France.
Alexian's Saucisson is a mixture of pork and beef. Laurie Cummins, President of Alexian, noted, “This is one of the few Alexian products containing beef. The beef gives the sausage a more complex ?avor and its rich, appetizing color.”
Alexian Saucisson is smoked in its easy-peel ?brous casing for several hours, allowing for optimal ?avor development. Cummins described the Saucisson as "an outstanding taste with a generous kick of garlic."
She added that the Saucisson is very versatile. "It can be used in snacks, sandwiches, and even grilled or stir fried for an omelet. It can be added into a pasta dish, or baked into your favorite bread. For simple pleasure, enjoy it at room temperature diced or sliced for a charcuterie board or cheese platter.”
Each sausage is individually vacuum packaged, and as a natural preservative, the smoking process ensures that it will remain fresh for over 90 days.
Alexian Saucisson is a 12 ounce sausage, shipped six per case and can be sold in the deli section of supermarkets and specialty food stores. Suggested retail price is $9.99 per unit.
