Mortadella di Prato PGI 

Mortadella di Prato PGI - Produced in Tuscany since the 16th century, it was first introduced as a way to use inferior quality pork cuts and leftover meat leftovers from the processing of other cured meats.

This particular type of sausage is still produced according to an ancient recipe: Mortadella di Prato PGI is a product based on cooked meat, flavored with garlic, mace, pepper, coriander, cinnamon and cloves,

all stuffed into a natural casing.

It has a rather unique sweet to spicy flavor and a distinct pinkish color due to the addition of Alchermes liqueur to the meat mixture.

Information

In Tuscany, mortadella arises from the need to make the best use of discarded meats in the preparation of salami and second-rate pork cuts.

Thus, at the beginning of the twentieth century, in Prato and in some areas of the province of Pistoia they began to stuff these meats, to season them with spices and liqueurs and to cook them in water.

After the war this production disappeared, until about thirty years ago, a delicatessen in Prato resumed production.

Obviously it is no longer necessary to load the mortadella with spices and powerful aromas: the meat is chosen with care and the modern consumer does not like too invasive aromas.

Mortadella Prato can have various shapes, closer to salami or classic mortadella (depends on the manufacturer),

and the weight is almost always one kilogram (although there are variants ranging from 300, 400 grams up to two and a half kilograms).

Cooked cured meats are a strange family.

If you enjoy them straight out of the pot or oven they are excellent, but if you reheat them when cold they lose much of their taste.

So do not be tempted by the idea of heating cotechini, mortadella, salami, cooked hams, liver: either you are lucky enough to arrive in the store at the right time, when they are still hot, or eat them cold.

Never out of the fridge, of course, but at room temperature.

Mortadella Toscana is perfect if tasted with figs, preferably of the Dottato variety (from Carmignano), and with the Prato “draft”, a local bread.
