Citterio Mortadella Mini, 13 oz [PACK of 2]

Think of the Citterio Mortadella Mini as the adorable, snack-sized version of the giant "Bologna" wheels you see in Italian delis. Don't let its petite size fool you; this is authentic Italian Mortadella, complete with the silky texture and those tiny, essential cubes of pork fat (lardons) that make it so incredibly creamy. It is lightly spiced with black pepper and myrtle berries, offering a delicate, floral aroma that is worlds away from standard lunch meat. This mini deli meat is perfect for the home host because it allows you to slice it fresh without having to store a 20-pound log in your fridge. It’s the "gold standard" of Italian cooked salumi, beloved by kids for its mildness and by adults for its sophisticated heritage. Whether you’re dicing it into a salad or folding it into "roses" for a party platter, the Mortadella Mini is a testament to the fact that great things really do come in small packages. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Italian School" Mortadella Mousse Blend the Mortadella Mini with a little ricotta, heavy cream, and nutmeg until it becomes a light, fluffy spread. Serve it in a bowl surrounded by warm focaccia for a communal dipping appetizer that will have your friends begging for the recipe. Recipe #2: Mortadella & Pistachio Pesto Pasta Dice the mortadella into small cubes and fry until crispy (yes, you can fry it!). Toss with pasta and a pistachio-basil pesto for a luxurious Italian dinner that plays on the traditional mortadella-and-pistachio pairing. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Mortadella "Roses" on Focaccia Fold paper-thin slices of Citterio Mortadella into ruffles and place them on squares of rosemary focaccia. Top with a dollop of balsamic glaze for a beautiful, easy appetizer that looks like it was catered. Appetizer #2: The "Mini" Muffaletta Skewers Thread a cube of mini mortadella, a piece of provolone, and a green olive on a pick.
