MORTADELLA: AN EXCELLENCE OF ITALIAN CHARCUTERIE
Mortadella is the quintessence of Italian charcuterie, a product that recalls the ancient traditions of skilled artisan hands. It is the result of a skilful mix of different cuts of meat, skilfully blended with cubes of lard to obtain a creamy and compact mixture. Salt, herbs, spices and herbs are then added to the basic ingredients, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours that has been handed down for centuries, since the time of the ancient Romans.
The secret of this exquisite cured meat lies in the perfect balance of taste and aroma, combined with meticulous care in its preparation, entirely ‘Made in Italy’.
