The legacy of craftsmanship, the signature of excellence
Artisanal Know-How
At LAKOUM, each product is the fruit of artisanal know-how passed down from generation to generation. Our workshops are the beating heart of our establishment, where French tradition and gastronomic innovation meet to create exceptional artisanal charcuterie.
We have chosen excellence: premium HQC-certified meats, noble ingredients (black truffle, Comté AOP, Espelette pepper AOP), and a mastered aging process that reveals the full complexity of flavors.
Meat Selection
It all begins with rigorous selection. We work exclusively with HQC-certified veal and beef, chosen for their exceptional quality and impeccable traceability.
Our Selection Criteria
- HQC Certification: Strict adherence to quality standards
- Premium quality: Meats selected for their tenderness and flavor
- Complete traceability: From farm to your table
- Ethics: Respect for animal welfare
The Manufacturing Process
1. Preparation
Each piece of meat is prepared with care: precise cutting, meticulous trimming, and respect for the noble cuts. For our sausages, we use a balanced mix of veal and beef. For our coppas, we select the veal collar, the most tender cut.
2. Seasoning
This is where our signature comes to life. We incorporate exceptional ingredients:
- Black summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum) for our gourmet sausages
- Comté AOP 18 months for a bold cheese-charcuterie pairing
- Espelette pepper AOP for a refined Basque touch
- Maquis herbs (rosemary, thyme, savory) for a Mediterranean escape
- La Vera paprika smoked over oak wood for our chorizos
3. Stuffing and Drying
Our sausages and chorizos are stuffed into natural casings, then begin their drying process under controlled conditions. Temperature, humidity, ventilation: every parameter is precisely monitored.
4. Aging
This is the noblest stage, requiring patience and expertise. Our aging cellars maintain optimal conditions so that each product develops its unique personality.
Aging period: From 3 to 8 weeks depending on the product, to achieve the perfect balance between texture and flavor.
Quality Control
Each LAKOUM product undergoes several quality control stages:
- Visual inspection: Verification of appearance, color, texture
- Olfactory inspection: Validation of characteristic aromas
- Taste inspection: Systematic tasting to ensure flavor balance
- Sanitary control: Strict adherence to hygiene and food safety standards
Only products that meet our standards of excellence bear the LAKOUM signature.
Vacuum Packaging
Once aging is complete, each product is vacuum-packed to preserve its freshness and aromas. This technique ensures optimal preservation while respecting the product's integrity.
Our gift boxes are then assembled by hand, with particular attention to presentation. Each LAKOUM box is designed to offer an exceptional gastronomic experience.
Our Commitment
At LAKOUM, we believe that certified charcuterie can be synonymous with gastronomic excellence.
We refuse to compromise on quality. Each product is the result of meticulous work, a passion for authentic taste, and a deep respect for our customers.
From our workshops to your table, we put all our expertise at the service of your culinary pleasure.
