Saucisson (French: [sosisɔ̃]), also saucisson sec or saucisse sèche, is a family of thick, dry-cured sausage-shaped charcuterie in French cuisine. Typically made of pork, or a mixture of pork and other meats, saucisson are a type of charcuterie similar to salami.
There is also a tradition of making saucisse sèche in western Switzerland, the term saucisson being used only for sausages with interrupted maturation, therefore cooking sausages.
