To the eye it appears slightly pink with white pearls of fat. Its scent is intense and lightly spicy. The full taste is balanced and delicate, without any trace of smoking.
It can be savored both sliced and cut in cubes.
How to pair it. Mortadella perfectly matches with soft cheeses like Mozzarella or Asiago and with fruits like pears and grapes. If served with warm bread, the fat melts giving off a strong enticing scent. It gives her best if accompanied with sparkling wine like the regional one, Lambrusco, or with the refined Champagne.
Did you know? Due to high price of raw materials and the cost of production, in the past Mortadella was a prerogative of the rich bourgeoisie. Today, thanks to the development of deli meats industry, its exquisite quality can be appreciated by everyone.
