Mortadella slices are a traditional Italian cold cut made from finely ground pork, fat, and seasonings, including spices like pepper or nutmeg. Originating from Bologna, Italy, this cured meat is often flavored with pistachios or myrtle berries, giving it a unique taste and texture. Mortadella is smooth, mildly savory, and has a creamy richness thanks to its distinct combination of lean meat and fat distribution. While it excels in flavor and is a staple in Italian cuisine, particularly in sandwiches and antipasto platters, mortadella is a processed meat high in saturated fats and sodium. It provides protein but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. When selecting mortadella, look for variations with lower sodium or fat content, and pair it with nutrient-rich accompaniments like fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread.
