Boudin Noir and Morcilla Are Back on Halloween Weekend
(a fitting dish on the “spookiest weekend” of the year!)
At Oyama Sausage Co., the arrival of cooler weather means the return of two of our most beloved seasonal sausages. Boudin Noir and Morcilla are back, and our first batch of the season will be available Thursday, October 29 through Sunday, November 1 at our shop in the Granville Island Public Market.
Both sausages are classic examples of European blood sausage traditions, deeply savoury and richly flavoured, and perfect for the hearty, comforting meals that autumn calls for.
Boudin Noir
A traditional French blood sausage, known for its smooth texture and rich, savoury depth. Our Boudin Noir is beautifully seasoned and pairs wonderfully with apples, potatoes, or caramelized onions.
Morcilla
Spain’s famous blood sausage, Morcilla is bold and aromatic, seasoned with spices that give it a distinctive character. It is excellent grilled or pan-fried and served alongside beans, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
Both varieties are packaged in packs of four sausages.
Available All Winter Long
These sausages are only produced during the colder months. Throughout the season, we’ll be making fresh batches on the last weekend of every month from October through April, so there will be plenty of chances to enjoy them before they disappear again in the spring.
Pre-Orders Recommended
These sausages are always popular, and quantities are limited. Customers are encouraged to pre-order in advance to reserve their packs, either through our online order form here, or by contacting our store at 604-327-7407.
Yes, we are making our Swedish Hams for Thanksgiving 2026!
What is a Swedish Ham?
They are raw, mildly salted and cured, boneless, skin-on hams. We salt and hand-tie each ham in our kitchen so it is ready to take home and bake. Before baking, they look like this (Half size shown):
The Swedish Ham is traditionally prepared with a mustard, bread crumb topping. However, it tastes fantastic with no topping at all, or with a sweet or savoury glaze (ex: apricot jam, brown sugar + grainy mustard, ginger jam, etc). Cooking instructions are provided with each ham and they are also available on our website here. A fully cooked and glazed ham looks like this (Half size shown):
Ordering / Pickup Orders can easily be placed through our online ordering form, here.
Swedish Hams will be available for pick-up between Thursday, October 8th and Sunday, October 11th. Payment is made at time of pick-up.

Full ham (approx. 10lbs) – typically feeds 10 – 12 adults. Thanksgiving 2026 price is $8.40/lb.
