Owner's Message
The real andouille of Vire
It is in 1981 that the Maison ASSELOT was created. It is a family business specialized in the traditional production of the real andouille of Vire.
This production is done in the respect of strict rules, such as the manual preparation or the smoking in traditional fireplaces with beech wood during long weeks. This rigorous production allows Asselot to offer a product of very high quality, which you can enjoy as an aperitif, as a starter, cold sliced on good bread lightly buttered, or hot with potatoes for example.
