Mortadella Olimpica Negrini

Mortadella Olimpica by Negrini is the product that embodies the Olympic aspiration of Mortadella Bologna: the highest expression of artisan quality, the incarnation of all the parameters that make a Mortadella the best of its class — colour, texture, seasoning, fat-meat balance and the distinctive aromatic profile that has made Bologna the symbol of Mortadella in the world. The name 'Olimpica' — Olympic — is a tribute to excellence: in the sporting world, the Olympic Games are the highest summit of achievement; in the world of Mortadella, the Olimpica is the embodiment of this very ideal. Negrini designed this line as the finest product in its range: exclusively pork from the finest Lombard and Emilian farms, a seasoning that goes beyond the standard recipe with more precise proportions of pepper, myrtle, nutmeg and other natural spices, and a cooking time that creates optimal conditions for the development of Mortadella's aromatic compounds. The result is a Mortadella with a cross-section of almost lacquer-like luminosity, a texture that 'sings' on chewing, and an aromatic profile that celebrates the spice without heat, the sweetness without excess and the quality of the raw material in every bite.

• Whole: 4–8 °C; until the use-by date
• Once cut: wrap the cut surface in wax paper; use within 3–5 days
• Allow 20–25 minutes at room temperature before tasting — for the full development of the aromatic profile
• Freezing in thin slices possible

In the kitchen: For absolute premium presentations thinly sliced, pure, without accompaniment. In Mortadella mousse with white truffle and Mascarpone as the ultimate starter. On homemade Piadina or fresh Ciabatta from the bakery. As filling for handmade Tortellini in starred-kitchen cuisine. As filling for Cannelloni di Mortadella as an elegant first course. Pairing: Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero or Champagne Blanc de Blancs for the ultimate Mortadella-sparkling wine experience.
