Different grinding for meat and rind
The Cotechino Modena specification calls for a coarser grind for pork muscle and fat and a finer grind for the rind. The components are mixed and filled into natural or artificial casings. The fresh product is dried before sale and requires prolonged cooking; the cooked version receives heat treatment after sealed packaging. These are the named IGP product’s production routes.
