Mortadella is an emulsified large-format pork sausage.
Veroni, an Italian charcuterie brand, brought what it says is the largest mortadella ever seen in the U.S. to the recent New York City Wine & Food Festival.
The giant log of mortadella weighed 661 pounds and was nearly 7 feet long.
Veroni’s extra-large version of mortadella is “produced with the highest-quality meat—shoulder for the pink part and bacon for the white—cooked slowly for more than 36 hours to maximize its flavor,” according to the press release.
“Mortadella is definitely the protagonist of exclusive charcuterie boards, paired with aged cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano, a fig or citrus jam, and dried and fresh fruits and vegetables if you like.”
