TEYSSIER SALAISONS

What TEYSSIER SALAISONS does

Teyssier Salaisons is a 150+ year-old artisanal charcuterie producer founded in 1871 by Victorin Teyssier in Saint-Agrève, Ardèche, and currently operated under the privately held parent company STB S.A.S. (headquartered in Hillion, Brittany; share capital €10,583,572). The company manufactures traditional dry sausages, chorizo, and cured meats at 1,136 meters altitude in the Parc Naturel Régional des Monts d'Ardèche using handcraft methods including manual pre-salting derived from ancient 'tuailles', natural casing stuffing, hand-tying with linen thread, manual bridging, beechwood cold smoking, and extended air-drying for 4-10 weeks (saucissons) or 12+ months (dry hams). Teyssier holds IGP Ardèche certifications for dry hams (2010) and saucissons (2012), and has accumulated 37 medals at the Concours Général Agricole since 2008, including Gold in 2025 and Silver/Bronze in 2024. The company is the only national producer to offer dual-texture (soft and dry) saucissons on select references and maintains a 30% reduced-fat product line.

Teyssier's product portfolio comprises five core lines: Les saucissons authentiques, Les chorizos, Les saucissons saveurs (with AOP ingredients such as Parmesan, Olives de Nyons, Piment d'Espelette, Cèpes, and Noisettes), Les saucissons allégés (30% reduced fat), and Les viandes séchées (including IGP Jambon Sec de l'Ardèche aged 12+ months and Coppa). A coffret dégustation gift set was introduced for gifting occasions. Unit pricing spans €6.95 to €73.44 per piece, clustering in the €25-€37/kg range. The company also holds Produit de Montagne (2005), HACCP, and COFRAC-accredited lab certifications, and operates under the TEYSSIER registered trademark.

Teyssier serves two primary customer segments through a hybrid go-to-market model: (1) individual consumers purchasing directly via the teyssier-salaisons.com e-commerce storefront for home consumption and gifting, with delivery across France metropolitan; and (2) a curated network of artisan butcher-charcutier-traiteur resellers (B2B2C) across France, including long-tenured partners such as Boucherie Liège & Fils (since 1976), Aux Canards Sauvages (since 1988), and Charcuterie-Traiteur Campin (Paris). Marketing is content-driven, emphasizing 150-year heritage, 'saucissoenologie' tasting education (8 lessons), and medal recognition. Geographic reach is restricted to France metropolitan, excluding Monaco and Corsica.
