Mortadella

Rare card · No. 44038

Mortadella (Italian: [mortaˈdɛlla]) is a large salume made of finely hashed or ground cured pork, which incorporates at least 15% small cubes of pork fat (principally the hard fat from the neck of the pig). It is traditionally flavoured with peppercorns, but modern versions can also contain pistachios or less commonly, myrtle berries. The sausage is then cooked. The most well-known version of mortadella is mortadella Bologna PGI.
