Mortadella
Mortadella is a traditional Italian cooked sausage originating from Bologna, recognized by its smooth pink paste studded with visible cubes of white pork fat. This delicacy combines finely ground pork with spices like myrtle berries and black pepper, offering a high-protein meat option with significant fat and sodium content due to its processed nature. Its mild yet complex flavor and ready-to-eat convenience make it a staple for charcuterie boards and sandwiches, serving as the original inspiration for American bologna.
