Soft to the touch, fragrant to the smell, irresistible to the first taste: mortadella is one of those flavors you don't forget. Behind its apparent simplicity lies a precise recipe, essential ingredients, and a process that allows no shortcuts.
Gluten-free, with no added polyphosphates, vacuum-packed: CLAI Mortadella is designed for those who want to bring true quality to the table, without compromise.
A Story from Bologna
Mortadella is a cured sausage originating from Bologna. References to a similar product can be found as early as Roman times, but it was in the Middle Ages that the term officially began to appear in Bologna market documents. Since then, it has become one of Italy's most beloved cured meats, recognizable for its intense aroma and delicate taste.
The traditional recipe calls for finely cooked and minced pork, mixed with pork fat cubes, mainly from the jowl. It is cylindrical in shape, flavored with black peppercorns, and has a rounded, never aggressive flavor profile.
What You'll Find in the Package
CLAI Mortadella is available in two formats: 500 g and 1 kg, both fixed weight, vacuum-packed. The diameter is 10 cm, ideal for balanced slices, neither too small nor too large.
It is gluten-free and contains no added polyphosphates. Free from milk and dairy products. Essential ingredients, nothing superfluous.
How to Store It After the First Cut
Vacuum packaging ensures freshness until opened. After the first cut, our customers confirm that the system also works at home:
"Fragrant and fresh. I rigorously store it vacuum-packed every time after slicing it. Neither the taste nor the aroma are altered with this home storage system."
The advice is simple: reseal it well, keep it in the refrigerator, consume it within a few days.
How to Use It in the Kitchen: Beyond the Classic Appetizer
Mortadella is versatile. It works as a cold cut, but also stands up well to cooking and lends itself to more elaborate preparations.
- Crispy cubes on cream soups: sautéed in a pan, it becomes an unexpected garnish for pumpkin, pea, or potato cream soups.
- Tartare with pistachios: finely chopped with a knife, seasoned with EVO oil and chopped pistachios: an appetizer that enhances the sweetness of the meat without overpowering it.
- Mousse in puff pastry baskets: blended with ricotta and Parmesan, it becomes a soft cream to serve on croutons or in puff pastry shells.
- Skewers with grilled vegetables: mortadella cubes alternated with bell peppers, zucchini, and soft cheese: perfect for an aperitif.
-
Piadina: combined with fresh figs and burrata, it finds a surprising balance of sweetness, creaminess, and savoriness.
The key is always the same: slice it thinly, serve it at room temperature, and don't overwhelm its flavor.
