Cotechino di Modena IGP (500g) – GIANNI NEGRINI

Cotechino is a beloved Italian sausage, traditionally made from pork, fatback, and a carefully selected mix of spices. It is slow-cooked to perfection to ensure it retains its rich flavor and smooth texture. Often enjoyed during the New Year, Cotechino is a symbol of good luck and prosperity, especially when served with lentils, as the small legumes are believed to bring wealth in the coming year.

Pre-cooked Cotechino offers the same great taste and authenticity as freshly made Cotechino but with the convenience of being ready to heat and serve. Simply simmer or heat it through, and you’ll have a savory, satisfying dish in minutes. Its firm texture, savory flavor, and aromatic spice blend make it perfect for festive occasions or cozy meals.
