All the products: Cotechino

The cotechino it is an Italian charcuterie product, in particular a type of sausage, which is traditionally enjoyed during holidays, particularly in the Emilia-Romagna region.

The cotechino it is typically cooked by boiling or simmering it for an extended period of time to ensure it becomes tender and flavorful. Long cooking also helps eliminate excess fat. It is often served sliced, alone or with other toppings, such as lentils or mashed potatoes. Cotechino is closely related to another Italian sausage called "Zampone". The zampone is produced using the skin of the pig's trotter as a casing and the filling is similar to that of the cotechino. Both cotechino and zampone have a rich, hearty flavor, making them popular choices for celebratory meals, especially during the winter months. These sausages have a long history in Italian cooking and are deeply rooted in culinary traditions that emphasize using various parts of the pig to create flavorful dishes.
