Mortadella di Bologna is a large Italian sausage made from good quality finely minced pork, spices, herbs, pistachios and slow-cooked for 24 hours. Being rich in lipids, high in protein and relatively low in cholesterol, makes it perfect for health-conscious people. It is perfect to be eaten on its own, with some good bread, made as a stuffing for pastas (e.g. ravioli) or mixed together with some vegetables and eggs to prepare a frittata (omelette).
