Two local producers with a passion for animal welfare and taste have come together. The result is a very high quality cured sausage, made with meat from both Blåbjørgris and Fjellam from Ryfylke.
In a forest near Vindafjord, with a fresh stream, blueberry heather and shady trees, the wild pigs live from Blueberry pig their free lives. Here they get to dig, spill and eat like pigs do, with nature as a canteen and playground. The feed is natural, the movement free, and the taste bears the imprint of both craftsmanship, love and a unique diet. The secret? Wild blueberries.
Not far away, in the mountainous areas of Ryfylke, the sheep graze in open heath attractions. The 23 manufacturers behind Fjellam from Ryfylke allows lamma to grow up in some of the country's most nutritious pasture areas, with access to herbs, grasses, meadows and crystal clear mountain water. The result is meat with deep flavors and a clear grounding in tradition and landscape. Fjellam from Ryfylke has been awarded Geographical Protected Designation, which is a quality label that emphasizes the uniqueness of both origin and form of production.
Together, Blåbjørgris and Fjellam from Ryfylke have launched a cured sausage based on meat from both animal species. This is the first time ingredients from these two unique producers are combined, and the result is a flavorful sausage that both surprises and excites.
The collaboration is the result of the desire of both manufacturers to develop a new and exciting product, in which TEAL saw a potential in combining two raw materials with a clear identity and high quality. The local meat producer Toma took the challenge of developing a product that highlights the best of both outdoor pig and mountain lamb, and the result was a high quality cured sausage.
The two producers share values related to animal welfare, sustainability and genuine craftsmanship, which has laid the foundation for a successful collaboration. The sausage is artisanal produced on a small scale, respecting the raw materials and traditions. This is proof of what can happen when quality producers get together.
