It is made from selected pieces of pork, with a fine texture: on one side pink, given by the meat with striated muscles obtained from the shoulder, and on the other white, given by the bacon which gives it softness, with a delicate flavor. The main processes are grinding, kneading, bagging and cooking. Ideal for appetizers combined with other cold meats and cheeses, but also mixed with sauces, such as tuna sauce, or with peppers and figs to create dishes rich in flavor and protein. The wine that will pair most easily with mortadella is certainly a sparkling red, even with champagne that prepares the palate for a new taste of mortadella.
