About Fou du Cochon
Fou du Cochon is a charcutier in Kamouraska, in Bas-Saint-Laurent. It cures artisanal sausages and hams from organic meat raised in the region. Curing is a slow craft that relies on salt, time and patience, and working with local organic meat keeps the product tied to the farms around it.
Fou du Cochon suits food lovers, picnic planners and anyone stocking up for an aperitif board. Pair its charcuterie with Quebec cheese, a crusty loaf and a local cider or beer. If you are driving along the river through Kamouraska in summer, it makes a tasty stop. A few cured pieces also make a fine gift for a host.
