Cooked Cotechino 400g

Flagship product of the Macelleria Fratton, which has remained unchanged through all 4 generations, the artisan cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton is almost completely free of nitrites and nitrates, a choice that combines consumer health protection with compliance with European regulations.

According to the European Directive 95/2/EC of 1995, it is also mandatory for heat-treated meat products to add a minimum percentage of these substances that act as “reserve preservatives” to prevent the development of highly dangerous pathogenic microorganisms for health and thus a potential risk of botulinum poisoning.

So when you find a product of this type labeled "No artificial preservatives," be aware that a minimal amount is still present in the product, legally at levels far below the regulatory maximums, or that a natural origin preservative has been used, which should be included in the list of those approved by the EU. Why this clarification? Because a transparent label is the first step towards a relationship of full trust with the customer, as per the philosophy of Macelleria Fratton.

The Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton is enclosed in a 100% natural sheep intestine casing and is tied strictly by hand.

A testament to the quality of this product is its limited production in terms of pieces, as it requires a long entirely artisanal process.

Small note: The Cotechini from Macelleria Fratton are cooked only on Saturdays and thus will be available for purchase only on Mondays and Tuesdays outside the Christmas season.

Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton: a must all year round

The king of winter cuisine, especially during Christmas, the Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton is produced all year round as it is one of the historic products of the butcher shop.

Following the classic recipe of the Padano sausage, passed down for centuries, the production of this sausage involves the use of one-third lean pork, one-third fat, and one-third rind, all ground and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Simplicity that becomes true poetry on the plate! Get creative with pairings because, strange as it may seem, Cotechino is not always eaten solely with lentils.

Cooked Cotechino 400g: use in the kitchen

The Cotechino Cotto from Macelleria Fratton should be served hot and is usually accompanied by purè, lentils, or other cooked vegetables, especially during the winter season.

In Veneto, it is traditional to serve it accompanied by pearà, a sauce made from bread, pepper ("pearà" in the Venetian dialect actually means "peppered"), meat broth, and marrow, perhaps alongside other boiled meats, usually boiled beef and tongue.

One pairing we recommend is with excellent mostarda in the Mantuan or Cremonese style, maybe with a good glass of Lambrusco to enhance its round taste and spiciness.
