An absolutely unique and unique production technique all over the world, regulated by a Production Standard approved by the European Union. That's exactly how it can not be improvised to produce Mortadella Bologna. But how is this unmistakable and versatile salami born?

The starting point is carefully selected meat that is mechanically shredded through three different steps. The "lardelli" are then prepared, the fat cubes that characterize this salami, and the mixture thus obtained is bagged and subjected to binding. Then begins the most delicate phase, cooking, which can last from a few hours to several days and gives the mortadella all its aroma and its softness, finally ending with the showering and cooling. The result of this long and intense production process is one of the most loved and appreciated cured meats of Italian cuisine, with an aromatic scent and a delicate but definitely unmistakable flavor: Mortadella Bologna PGI.
