Charcuteries Vire

Founded in 1981, Maison Asselot is the most famous ambassador of the genuine andouille de Vire, regularly awarded laurels of excellence in regional and national competitions. The best andouille from Vire, or almost! Handmade from pork belly, smoked in traditional beechwood fireplaces for three weeks, then simmered in a broth, Vire andouille can be enjoyed hot or cold, as an aperitif or at the table. An ancestral know-how, dating back to the ^18th century, to discover on our guided tours.

Maison Lesouef has been making the real andouille de Vire, smoked over a wood fire, since 1996. The Prix d'Excellence of the Confrérie de la Genuine Andouille de Vire and the Grand Prix National 2018 have been added to the many other awards. Jean-Paul Lesouef, Master craftsman, completes his flagship product with some other delicious artisanal specialties: andouillettes, smoked ham, smoked filet mignon, Caen-style tripe, country blood sausage... which can be purchased directly at the store, but also on the Vire market, every Friday.
