MORTADELLA piece or sliced

Description

MORTADELLA piece or sliced

An iconic, finely emulsified pork sausage from Bologna, made with at least 15–28% small cubes of pork fat (“lardelli”) and flavored traditionally with black pepper, nutmeg, coriander, and occasionally pistachios or myrtle. Its smooth, silky texture and mildly sweet-savory taste make it a beloved staple of Italian cuisine.

Key highlights:

• Appearance: Uniform pale-pink slice with visible white fat cubes

• Flavor & aroma: Delicate, slightly nutty, subtly spiced, elegantly balanced

• Texture: Velvety and moist; achieved through slow cooking in dry-air ovens

• Heritage: Originating in Bologna, it holds PGI/IGP status and follows traditional production methods dating back to the 17th century

Serving suggestions:
Ideal thinly sliced for sandwiches on crisp bread, charmingly soft in antipasto platters, or cubed in pasta, salads, and focaccia. Traditionally paired with sparkling Lambrusco or light-bodied wines

In short: Mortadella is a delicately flavored, silky-textured emblem of Italian charcuterie—simple, classic, and endlessly versatile.
