Description
The artisanal Raw Cotechino, a flagship product of Macelleria Fratton that has remained unchanged through all 4 generations, is almost completely free of nitrites and nitrates, a choice that combines consumer health protection and compliance with European regulations. According to the European Directive 95/2/EC of 1995, it is mandatory to add a minimal percentage of these substances to meat products not subjected to thermal treatment, such as sausages made from raw meat, as they act as 'reserve preservatives' to prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms that are very dangerous to health and thus a potential risk of botulism intoxication. Therefore, when you find a product of this type labeled 'Absence of artificial preservatives,' be aware that a minimal amount is still present within the product, by law at levels far below regulatory maximums, or that a naturally derived preservative has been used, which should be on the list of those approved by the EU. Why this clarification? Because a transparent label is the first step towards a full trust relationship with the customer, as per the philosophy of Macelleria Fratton. The Raw Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton is encased in a 100% natural sheep intestine casing and is strictly hand-tied. The quality of this product is evidenced by its limited production in terms of pieces, as it requires a long, entirely artisanal process. Raw Cotechino from Macelleria Fratton: not just for Christmas King of winter cuisine, especially during Christmas, the Raw 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 Po Valley sausage passed down for centuries, the production of this sausage involves using one-third lean pork, one-third fat, and one-third rind or skin, all ground and seasoned with salt and pepper. Simplicity that becomes true poetry on the plate! Get creative with pairings because, strange but true, cotechino is not always eaten only with lentils.
