Description
Savoie's Pork Tasso 8oz is a bold Louisiana smoked pork tasso made for adding deep Cajun flavor to gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, pasta, beans, greens, soups, stews, breakfast dishes, and smothered potatoes. This seasoned pork is cured, heavily spiced, and smoked for a rich, peppery flavor that works as a flavor booster in classic Cajun and Creole cooking.
Tasso is fully cooked, so it can be diced, sliced, warmed, sautéed, or added directly into recipes where you want smoky pork flavor without performing a whole kitchen ceremony like humanity hasn’t invented shortcuts. Start a pot of gumbo or jambalaya by browning diced tasso, simmer it with beans or greens, toss it into creamy pasta, or use it to add a smoky kick to omelets, hash, shrimp and grits, and stews.

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. |

Always have to have packages of tasso in the freezer
Always have to have packages of tasso in the freezer. With summer almost here and all of the good produce coming in, this is great in a big pot of peas or beans. Arrived in two days and was still frozen.
