Mortadella Ham

Italian salami is not often cited as a typical Italian product, even if it is really present in Italians daily diet.
This simple cold cut is commonly used in Italy in an antipasto or, more commonly, inside a sandwich that a young Italian student eat at school pause.

Generally salami is made with 1 / 3 beef, 1 / 3 pork and 1 / 3 fat. This proportion varies by type of sausage. For example, Felino is usually precious meat and less fat, be regarded as a gourmet.

Outside Italy, cold cuts are not always fresh and are often regarded as something of conservation, not suitable for daily feeding.

This false impression is due to the fact that often these meats are not consumed in these countries often associated with fatty foods and preserved.

They are indeed preserved, and should not base the diet own sausages. But this is not a drastic choice, as they have high nutritional values.

Italian salami has a large percentage of protein ranging from 24-30%, and contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and B1, B2 and PP vitamins.

Salami addition, there are a wide variety of Italian meats that can be easily found on the Italian market, for everyday use. The counter of the deli always has a queue of people buying salami, prosciutto, mortadella, among other varieties.

Several times, the word-of-mouth fails. The famous early Italian prosciutto is often a label for less than value of different meats or products only.

Between the Italian raw hams, one of the most famous is called Prosciutto di Parma. This product has the European quality mark for PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), while 7 other Italian hams. But often people just say "Parma" thinking they say "ham Italian".

Prosciutto di Parma is a wonderful product, as well as the Tuscany one, but they are different. Parma is milder, and Tuscany is salt (it is salted because originally used by the shepherd s with the Tuscan bread, which has quite no salt).

Italian ham is a gourmet product and is used in all regimes, including children, because it is a healthy choice, rich in protein easy to digest.

The poorest "cold cut is mortadella. It is considered poor, because who could afford to buy ham, mortadella purchased. But it is not poor in taste, but something for everyone. A and crisp new piece of bread with a little slice of mortadella is one of the great pleasures of taste.

Mortadella is made only of pork. During the '600 a cardinal set a ban on beef, including the recipe bologna, also banning the production of this specialty outside the city of Bologna, as it was difficult to control these products. These rules have changed, because it is produced in many other cities now, but a good bologna must always contain only pork.

In an average family of Italy, deli sandwiches are used for children in school - it is certainly a better choice compared to extra sweet snacks, antipasto and as a dinner than others.

Especially when you're hungry, the vision of a table with Italian sausage such as salami, ham and bologna with a pair of baskets containing fresh bread, a little Italian good cheese.
