A balanced mortadella

Mortadella has a nutritional profile that fits perfectly into a varied and balanced diet.
This traditional cold cut contains micronutrients and minerals, as well as high biological value proteins containing all the essential amino acids. Thanks to its high protein content, mortadella is very filling.
Since it is rich in B vitamins, it aids metabolic processes, which allow fats, proteins and carbohydrates to work together effectively to provide energy to our body. The many minerals present in mortadella support the immune system and, together with proteins, help sustain those who need a highly nutritious diet, especially athletes.

The recipe

Taste and goodness

 

The recipe for Felsineo mortadella is simple, natural and free from additives: no glutamate, polyphosphates, colourings, sugars, milk derivatives, gluten or synthetic flavourings.

Its unique flavour is the result of internal processes, including enzymatic lysis and microbial fermentation, which give the mortadella its aroma and sweetness.

Other essential requirements for producing this internationally renowned cold cut are meticulous processing, a wide variety of spices, precise timing and specific cooking methods.

The false myths

Let's dispel the myths: mortadella is a piece of Bolognese history that embodies tradition, culture and artisan passion.

Mortadella is made from scraps
FALSE! Mortadella is made from carefully selected pork: lean meat from striated muscles, such as the shoulder, is used for the lean part, while the white lard is made from the noble fat from the throat, which gives it a sweet flavour and soft texture.

Mortadella is a poor food product.
This is a false belief that still persists today, albeit to a lesser extent. In the past, mortadella was considered a product of excellence that only nobles and the upper middle class could afford.

It's unhealthy and heavy
Another fake news. Good quality mortadella is generally very digestible despite being fattier than other cold cuts such as ham or bresaola, but it must be produced using the correct manufacturing processes and be prepared with the right ingredients.

Balance with taste
