Tasso Ham FAQ

Quick answers for shoppers: what it is, how to cook it, storage, spice level, and tips for your next order.

›What is Tasso?
Tasso is spicy, smoked, seasoned pork from Louisiana cuisine, usually made from pork shoulder and hot-smoked. It’s bold, savory, and used to add instant Cajun flavor.
›How is Tasso different from regular ham?
Tasso is spicier and smokier, made from pork shoulder (not the hind leg), and is typically used as a seasoning meat in dishes rather than served as a large roast.
›How do I cook with Tasso?Fully cooked

It’s ready to eat—just warm and use to season dishes. Try these quick ideas:

  • Start gumbo, jambalaya, or étouffée by sautéing diced tasso in a little oil or butter.
  • Toss into creamy pasta or Alfredo for a smoky Cajun twist.
  • Simmer with red beans & rice, or stir into greens (collards, turnips).
  • Add to omelets or breakfast hash.
  • Pair with shrimp & grits.
  • Use as a flavor booster in soups and stews.
›Can I eat Tasso by itself?
Yes—slice and enjoy. It’s bold and spicy, so most folks use it to amplify flavor in recipes.
›How spicy is it?
Expect a warm Cajun heat. When cooked into sauces, soups, and rice dishes, the spice mellows and rounds out.
›How do I store it?
Keep sealed in the fridge for ~2 weeks. Freeze up to 6 months if vacuum-sealed. After opening, store airtight and use within a week.
›Is it keto/low-carb friendly?
Yes. It’s protein, fat, and spices—zero carbs—so it fits keto, paleo, and low-carb lifestyles.
›Why buy Tasso online?
Get authentic Louisiana flavor delivered. Products are vacuum-sealed for freshness—easy to stock your fridge or freezer.
›How much do I need?
A little goes a long way. One pack seasons a full pot of gumbo, stew, beans, or pasta.
