Basque chipolatas with Espelette pepper in natural gut LPF x6 ±360g VALLÉGRAIN
007639
These pure pork chipolatas, made from meat sourced from animals born, reared and slaughtered in France (CC5901 certification), stand out for their distinctive recipe inspired by the flavours of south-west France. Stuffed into natural sheep casings for a perfect shape, they have a consistent diameter of 23 to 25 mm. The meat is minced using a specific method (minimum 6 mm grid) to ensure a firm, juicy texture, free from any gristle. The seasoning is subtly enhanced by a touch of Espelette pepper (0.15%), hints of tomato and brown cane sugar, offering a balanced and slightly spicy flavour profile that will appeal to customers seeking originality and traceability.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Gastronomic applications: An ideal product to enhance your grilled food menus, country-style buffets or seasonal specials. These chipolatas are perfect for cooking on a griddle, grill or barbecue, where their natural casing ensures a characteristic crunch. They can also be incorporated into reimagined brasserie dishes, such as a quick cassoulet, or served with a piperade to highlight their Basque origins.
► Preparation: To ensure the product retains all its organoleptic qualities, it is essential to cook it through. The 6-unit tray format makes portioning easy and minimises waste in the kitchen when serving à la carte.
► Storage: Must be kept at a temperature between 0°C and +4°C. Once opened, the product must be consumed within 48 hours to preserve its freshness and natural flavours. Modified atmosphere packaging ensures optimal food safety until the use-by date.
