The GOODS from Oyama Sausage Company

Vancouver, BC | Celebrate cassoulet and Beaujoulais with Oyama Sausage this month. From November 22 – 25, 2012, the hard working staff at Oyama are offering house-made cassoulet for sale at their store on Granville Island. One form generously feeds two people and is available for a very reasonable $14.99 (the following products can be purchased separately as accompaniments: Duck Confit, Toulouse Sausages and Parisienne a l’ail – a garlicky cooked sausage which is sliced thick and laid on top). Oyama will also be releasing their own wonderful Jambon de Bayonne. This lovely ham has been aging in company’s amazing ham room for over a year. Good things take time and this is a real winner! And new this year, Oyama is offering a form for 10 – a giant tray with all the fixings; great for a Cassoulet party. This tray offers enough cassoulet to feed hearty appetites and includes Duck Confit, Toulouse Sausage and Parisienne a l’ail, all for $180.00. Visit Liberty Wine Store on Granville Island to purchase a bottle of Beaujoulais Nouveau, or other wines suggested by the staff at Liberty, then gather friends and family for a meal that warms both body and soul.

Cassoulet is a delicious French bean stew, made from white beans, various smoked meats and herbs, cooked slowly in a wonderful homemade stock and is traditionally served to mark the arrival of Beaujoulais Nouveau. And while the wine is very new and does not take much time to hit the glass, the preparation of cassoulet takes 2 days and lots of love. Oyama affords timesavings by preparing the meal for you. To kick things up a notch, after re-heating the cassoulet, finish with a dollop of Beurre de Gascogne, a condiment made of duck fat, parsley and tons of garlic. Add a glass of wine, some fabulous French bread and voila, the party begins.

    About Oyama Sausage Co.

    We opened our store on Granville Island in the amazing Public Market in 2001, moving to Vancouver from the Okanagan, where we were in business for 15 years. The business is owned by John and Christine van der Lieck. John is a fifth generation master sausage maker from Europe who has worked all over the European continent and is a true master in the trade of artisanal charcuterie. Our background is German and Dutch. At varying times, we make over 400 products, from patés and terrines to salamis, to hams, prosciuttos and many other dry cured treats, to sausages (dozens of links – fresh and smoked), pork pies, sliders and snacks, taking inspiration from many different ethnic backgrounds. These products are handmade in our kitchen in Vancouver. Our wonderful products are made with Canadian inspected free range, organic or family farm raised meats (pork, beef, bison, duck, elk, chicken, turkey and more), with natural herbs and spices sourced from all over the world. We carefully source all our ingredients, only the best will do! You will find many of our products in many of Vancouver’s fine restaurants and eateries.
