Description

Savoie’s Smoked Pork Tasso – Authentic Cajun Smoked Tasso

Savoie’s Smoked Pork Tasso is a traditional Cajun smoked and spiced pork product that adds bold, savory flavor to your cooking. Unlike typical smoked sausages or franks, tasso is a cured, seasoned, and hickory-smoked pork shoulder that’s deeply rooted in Louisiana Cajun cuisine. This specialty meat is often used as a flavor base rather than eaten alone — infusing soups, stews, rice dishes, and sauces with rich, smoky Cajun character.

Product Overview

Tasso is made from pork shoulder that’s been salt-cured, seasoned with Cajun spices such as paprika and cayenne, and slowly smoked over wood to build layers of savory depth. It’s lean yet intensely flavorful, offering a peppery kick and smoky aroma that’s perfect for bold Louisiana-style cooking.

Key Features:

• Traditional Louisiana smoked and seasoned pork shoulder
• Robust Cajun spice profile and deep wood-smoke flavor
• Typically used to season dishes, not usually eaten as a standalone sausage
• Great for gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, soups, stews, and sauces

Typical Ingredients:
Pork cured with water, salt, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, spices, dextrose, and paprika.

Flavor & Culinary Role

Savoie’s Tasso delivers smoky, spicy, and savory notes with a peppery finish — ideal for building depth in hearty Cajun dishes. Because of its concentrated flavor, tasso is most often added in small amounts at the start of simmering soups, stews, and rice dishes rather than served alone.
