Mortadella is a large Italian sausage made of finely hashed or ground heat-cured pork, which incorporates at least 15% small cubes of pork fat. It is traditionally flavoured with black pepper grains, but modern versions can also contain pistachios
Traditionally, the pork filling was ground to a paste using a large mortar and pestle.
Mortadella originated in Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna. Anna Del Conte found a sausage mentioned in a document of the official body of meat preservers in Bologna dated 1376 that may be mortadella.
