Saussoun

Undoubtedly one of the oldest Provençal recipes, (later dethroned by tapenade) lou Saussoun, pronounced saossoun, is a Varoise preparation based on fennel, almonds and anchovies. In the old days, this preparation was called in Provence, the “poor man's sauce“. It was said then that simply placed on a piece of bread , she made a whole meal.

Taste and share the saussoun as an aperitif and accompany it with a rosé Coteau Varois.

Anecdote : It was Frédéric Mistral's favorite recipe !
