About Italian mortadella
Mortadella is a classic Italian cold cut hailing from Bologna, celebrated for its smooth texture and delicate flavor. This cured meat is made primarily from finely ground pork, blended with cubes of pork fat, and seasoned with a mix of spices like black pepper and garlic. Some varieties include pistachios or myrtle berries for added flavor. Mortadella is a staple in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed in sandwiches, charcuterie boards, or as a pizza topping. While it's rich in protein and flavor, mortadella is also high in fat and sodium, making moderation key for a balanced diet. It provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, but it is a processed meat, which means it’s best to enjoy it as an occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple. For those looking to savor its taste, pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread can help create a more balanced meal.
