Mortadella is a large Italian sausage or luncheon meat 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 or, more rarely, myrtle berries.
The best-known version of mortadella is Mortadella Bologna PGI, but other varieties are found across Italy, including some made of other meats.
