Background

Many legends revolve around the origin of the name of this salami, which is undoubtedly a native of Monferrato. From the most accredited version, the term “muletta” derives from the eastern Venetian dialects used to indicate young girls. The legend, in fact, tells that the creator of this salami, who lived in the Risorgimento era, was forced to wear the uniform and move to Trieste. Arriving at his destination, the young butcher was so enraptured by the local young people that once he returned to his native town he decided to create this salami and dedicate it to the young people of Trieste.
