The traditional recipe and production of Boutefas AOP is rooted in centuries-old traditions and has been passed down through the centuries. The earliest records date back to 1634. Boutefas AOP is then mentioned in several publications on the daily life of the Vaudois and Fribourgeois.
Boutefas AOP is made from pork from pigs born and raised in the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg. The meat is minced and mixed with spices and then stuffed into natural pig casings. The meat is cold smoked at an average temperature of 18 to 28° C for at least 48 hours. Its weight varies between 600 grams and 3 kg.
Its shape is typical due to the embossing in a pig caecum.
Its colour is golden brown. Boutefas PDO has a traditional and pleasant aroma of natural smoke and coarsely chopped pork meat.
