Typically from Northern Italy, Cotechino is a cold cut whose name comes from the rind (“cotenna”, in Italian), which is one of the ingredients that compose the stuffing mixture. Rustic Cotechino is made from exclusively Italian pork meat and rind. This special care allows us to always guarantee the freshness and completeness of our product.

With its intense spicy aroma and savoury strong flavour, Rustic Cotechino evokes the atmosphere of the countryside and the flavours of Italian traditional cuisine. Cotechino is the typical dish of winter dinners and Christmas Holidays. In fact, it is traditionally eaten with lentils on New Year’s Eve as a wish of good luck and prosperity.

COOKING TIPS

To best cook Rustic Cotechino, it is necessary to follow a few essential rules:

  • Put Rustic Cotechino at the bottom of a large pot and fill it with water until it is completely covered in it.
  • Remove the product from the vacuum bag, pierce the casing to prevent it from breaking during cooking and to allow the excess fat to come out.
  • If you want a tastier result, you can also wrap Rustic Cotechino in aluminium foil.
  • Once the water boils, lower the heat and cook for at least 2-3 hours. Leave to cool and serve warm or hot to taste.

TIPS TO FULLY ENJOY IT

Because of its strong, savoury flavour, we suggest combining Rustic Cotechino with side dishes that have a strong taste or that soften its typical flavour, such as lentils or mashed potatoes. For an even better result, Rustic Cotechino can be paired with a good glass of wine. A full-bodied, full-flavoured wine such as Buttafuoco dell’Oltrepò Pavese DOC is an excellent accompaniment.

PROCESSING STEPS

The mixture used to make Rustic Cotechino is composed of lean, fatty meat and rind from 100% Italian pork. The proportions in which these elements are present vary based on manufacturer preferences. The recipe for Salumi Pasini's Rustic Cotechino reaches the right balance and allows it to be highly digestible, compared to similar products on the market. Before proceeding with the stuffing into the natural casing, salt, pepper, aromas and spices are added to the Cotechino Rustico mixture. The Cotechino Rustico is then expertly tied by hand by master butchers and left to dry for a whole day. In this way, the excess water will be eliminated and it will then be vacuum packaged.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Rustic Cotechino is a type of sausage of Emilian origin. In particular, it seems to be originally from the Modena area. In addition to Modena, the custom of preparing Cotechino is well rooted in other cities such as Cremona, Parma, Mantua, Reggio Emilia and Ferrara. Rustic Cotechino is very similar to the Zampone (which is also part of the Italian culinary tradition) and seems to be older than the latter. In fact, it is said that Zampone was born as a variant of Cotechino and that it was made by the Miradolesi during the papal siege dating back to the 16th century.
