What are Savoy sausages called?
Diot de Savoie (pronounced “dio”) is a typically Savoyard fresh cooked sausage made from pork meat and in a natural casing.
There are different varieties: plain, pure pork, smoked, with cabbage. When you choose it smoked, a traditional smoking process is achieved through the combustion of beech wood.
The French word "diot" comes directly from the Savoyard dialect where the word diot means "a little sausage".
