5.   Link with the geographical area

Specificity of the geographical area

The demarcation of the ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ geographical area is based on an idea of continuity between the places where traditional practices are used, themselves historically influenced by the natural conditions that are conducive to meat drying, and the locations of meat-curing businesses.

The geographical area is situated on a massif with an average altitude close to 1 000 m, comprising high plateaus and volcanic summits interspersed with many valleys. The area has a continental climate that is influenced by the altitude. The wind conditions contribute to a ventilating effect; this encourages the water loss that helps cured meat products to dry. Indeed, given that the rugged terrain runs transversal to the humid air flows coming from the west, strong Föhn effects influence the geographical area, particularly further down the massif.

Until the mid-20th century, there was a well-established domestic and farming tradition of rearing pigs and producing pork meat, mainly dry-cured products, as described in numerous literary works. Production traditionally took place during the winter, because the climatic conditions in that season made it possible to ensure a good mastery of salting and drying operations. The use of spices and garlic complemented the action of salting by improving the effectiveness of conservation and contributed to the development of the taste of Auvergne sausages.

Following the agricultural revolution in the 19th century, dry-curing techniques were slowly taken up and developed by small-scale businesses and then on an industrial scale. More than 15 of the companies currently found inside the geographical area began operations before the Second World War. From 1830 onwards, people began leaving Auvergne for Paris, where they worked mainly in brasseries and restaurants. This helped dry-cured meats produced in the geographical area reach new customers and enhanced their reputation.

Nowadays, dry-cured meats account for 78 % of prepared meat products made in the geographical area, whereas this figure stands at 16 % for the whole of France.

Specificity of the product

‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ is distinguished by the composition of its mixture, which is reflected in the organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of the finished product.

Firstly, at least 70 % of the mixture consists of meat from sows with a carcass weight exceeding 120 kg and/or from meat-type pigs with a carcass weight exceeding 93 kg. This meat gives ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ its characteristic red to dark red colour.

The mixture is then flavoured with garlic at a dose two to ten times higher than that found typically in dry sausage. Therefore ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ has a characteristic garlicky odour and taste.

The mixture of ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ is also characterised by an abundance of lean meat, as shown by a fat content (for an MFFB of 77 %) equal to or less than 20 % of the finished product and in slices containing little visible fat. This important share of lean meat results in a collagen/protide ratio equal to or less than 13 % of the finished product.

Causal link

The link between the geographical area and ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ is based on the reputation and specific characteristics of the products.

Farms began producing ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ due to a range of favourable factors inherent to the geographical area. These included natural factors, with a winter climate and a terrain that help the products to dry (cold average temperatures enabling the product to be preserved and Föhn-type wind conditions encouraging drying), and human factors, with pig rearing developing strongly, thus providing the raw material.

Consequently the dark colour of the ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ is a continuation of the traditional local practices, which favoured the use of mature animals for this type of processing (adult pigs, cull sows).

The systematic and significant incorporation of garlic into the mixture is another characteristic attributable to the geographical area. It is linked to the long-standing production of garlic on the Limagne plain in the department of Puy-de-Dôme.

These age-old practices were at the origin of economic, handicraft and later industrial activities, which are currently located in the geographical area. The reputation of ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ developed owing, in particular, to the promotion carried out since the mid-19th century by the many Auvergne natives who moved to the Paris region and beyond and worked in brasseries and restaurants. Starting in the 1970s, the specialisation and growth of production have sealed that reputation, which is based on the specific characteristics of the products stemming from traditional production practices.

The ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ is mentioned as a speciality of the geographical area in several literary works starting at the beginning of the 20th century. Some of those references are listed here:

It could also be mentioned that in the eleventh album of the Asterix the Gaul comic book series called ‘Le bouclier arverne’ (‘Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield’), which was published in 1968, the authors René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo depict ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ hanging from the ceiling of an Auvergne inn next to strings of garlic.

Its reputation remains strong, as demonstrated by the numerous references to the product, in particular on the internet, on online stores operating outside the geographical area and on cookery and food websites.

In addition, ‘Saucisson sec d’Auvergne’/‘Saucisse sèche d’Auvergne’ are regularly awarded prizes, in particular at two major French competitions, the Concours général agricole de Paris and the Concours international du meilleur saucisson Saucicreor de Nouan-le-Fuzelier.
