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. |
