Flagship product of Macelleria Fratton that has remained unchanged through all four generations, the artisanal cooked Cotechino of Macelleria Fratton is almost completely free of nitrites and nitrates, a choice that combines the protection of the consumer's health and compliance with European regulations. According to European Directive 95/2/EC of 1995, in fact, even regarding meat products subjected to heat treatment, it is mandatory to add a minimum percentage of these substances that act as "reserve preservatives" to prevent the development of very dangerous pathogenic microorganisms for health, and therefore a potential risk of botulism poisoning. Therefore, when you find a product of this type with the label "No artificial preservatives", know that a small amount is still present within the product, legally at levels far below regulatory maximums, or that a natural preservative has been used, which should be present in the list of those approved by the EU. Why this clarification? Because a transparent label is the first step towards building full trust with the customer, as the philosophy of Macelleria Fratton intends. The Cooked Cotechino of Macelleria Fratton is enclosed within a 100% natural sheep intestines casing and is strictly hand-tied. A testament to the quality of this product is its limited production in terms of pieces, as it requires a long entirely artisanal work process. A small note: the Cotechini from Macelleria Fratton are cooked only on Saturdays, and therefore will be available for purchase only on Mondays and Tuesdays outside the Christmas period. Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton: a must throughout the year. King of winter cuisine, especially that of Christmas, the Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton is produced all year round, as it is one of the historical products of the butcher shop. Following the classic recipe of the Padana sausage, passed down for centuries, the production of this sausage includes the use of one third lean pork meat, one third fat, and one third rind or skin, all ground and flavored with salt and pepper. Simplicity that becomes true poetry on the plate! Be creative with the pairings because, strange but true, cotechino is not always and only eaten with lentils. Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton: characteristics. The Cooked Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton features the typical pink color, interspersed with the white of the pork fat. Upon cutting, the meat is extremely tender and gelatinous. The smell is greedy and inviting, while the taste has a characteristic sweet note due to the high fat content. Packaging: vacuum sealed.
