Tasso

Tasso is a specialty of south Louisiana Cajun cuisine. Tasso ham is made from the hogs shoulder. This cut is typically very flavorful, because the muscle in the shoulder is constantly used by the animal.  In Bayou cuisine, tasso is typically used to season dishes like soups, gumbo, grits, rice, and gravies. Tasso is a spicy smoked ham for seasoning. Perfect for use in gumbo or stew. Use in place of any seasoning meats to cook beans, greens, gumbo.
