LA MORTADELLA: AN EXCELLENCE OF ITALIAN SALAMI
Mortadella is the quintessence of Italian cured meats, a product that recalls the ancient traditions of skilled craftsmen. It is the result of a wise mix of different cuts of meat, skillfully amalgamated with cubes of lard to obtain a creamy and compact dough. To the basic ingredients are added salt, aromas, spices and herbs, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that has been handed down for centuries, since the times of the ancient Romans.
The secret of this exquisite salami lies in the perfect balance between taste and aroma, combined with meticulous care in the preparation, entirely ‘Made in Italy’.
