Description
Comeaux's Pork Tasso 1lb is smoky, spicy Louisiana pork tasso made from diced pork shoulder that is specially seasoned, marinated, cured, and hickory smoked. This fully cooked, naturally smoked Cajun seasoning meat is a must-have for gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, vegetables, soups, stews, pasta, greens, breakfast hash, shrimp and grits, and any recipe that needs deep smoke and spice without turning dinner into a whole kitchen production.
Tasso is different from regular ham because it is usually made from pork shoulder, heavily seasoned with Cajun spices, and used more as a flavor booster than a main ham roast. Slice it, dice it, sauté it, or warm it into recipes to add instant Louisiana flavor. A little goes a long way, which is convenient because apparently some ingredients actually understand efficiency.

Additional Information
What is Tasso?: |
Tasso is a spicy, smoked, seasoned pork that comes from Louisiana Creole and Cajun cooking. It’s usually made from pork shoulder, heavily seasoned with Cajun spices, and hot-smoked to pack in flavor. |
How is Tasso different from regular ham?: |
Unlike traditional ham, Tasso is: Spicier and smokier – it’s coated in Cajun seasoning. Made from pork shoulder (not the hind leg like most hams). Used more as a seasoning meat than a main dish. |
How do you cook with Tasso?: |
Tasso is already fully cooked—you’re just reheating or using it to season dishes. Popular ways to use it: In Gumbo & Jambalaya, in Pasta or Alfredo to add a smoky Cajun twist, with Beans or Greens, or just as a Flavor Booster for Soups and Stews! |
Can I eat Tasso by itself?: |
Yes! It’s fully cooked, so you can slice and snack on it straight from the package. But it’s very bold and spicy, so most people use it as a flavor accent rather than a main protein. |
Is Tasso Spicy?: |
Yes, but it’s a warm Cajun heat, not overwhelmingly hot. The smoky spice blends beautifully into dishes. |
Is Tasso Keto/Low-Carb Friendly?: |
Absolutely. It’s all protein, fat, and seasoning—no carbs. Perfect for keto, paleo, and low-carb diets. |
