Fine meat, distinct cubes
The consortium describes finely minced shoulder meat combined with neck-fat cubes and seasonings, stuffed into casing, cooked slowly in dry-air ovens and rapidly cooled. The distinctive cubes remain visible in the cut surface.
At the table
The consortium shows thin slices, cubes and wedges as different serving formats. Our suggestion: choose the cut for the occasion and let the pink meat and fat cubes remain visible on a simple board.

The name matters
For the protected product, check the full Mortadella Bologna designation and European IGP symbol on the label. Generic mortadella is not automatically the same certified identity.
