Fratelli Beretta Cotechino, 14 oz [PACK of 2]

In Italy, you don't celebrate New Year's Eve without Cotechino. This is a traditional Italian pork sausage that is rich, gelatinous, and incredibly savory. Made from a blend of pork, fatback, and pork rind, it is seasoned with cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It has a unique, "melt-in-your-mouth" texture that is unlike any other sausage you’ve ever had. Fratelli Beretta has made it easy to enjoy this authentic festive deli meat year-round—it is typically pre-cooked and vacuum-sealed, requiring only a quick simmer to bring it to life. It’s the "good luck" meat of the Italian world, symbolizing wealth and abundance. Serving Cotechino is a fantastic way to introduce your friends to a deep, rustic Italian tradition that focuses on hearty, soul-warming flavors. The Recipes Recipe #1: The Traditional "Lenticchie e Cotechino" Simmer the Beretta Cotechino and serve it over a thick bed of savory lentils.

It’s a hearty, traditional family meal that is surprisingly easy to prepare and incredibly filling. Recipe #2: Cotechino & Creamy Polenta Slice the warm Cotechino into thick coins and serve over a mountain of soft, buttery polenta.
