Italian mortadella

Mortadella has a smooth texture and a distinctive taste, making it a versatile and delicious addition to any spread.

It's common to see thick cubes or thin slices of mortadella served as an appetizer. This cold cut also works well on a charcuterie board with other meats, cheeses, fruit, bread, and condiments like mustard, etc.

This recipe serves as inspiration for a mortadella sausage that utilizes ScanPro™ T 95, delivering the meat replacement along with overall better cost-in-use. ScanPro™ T 95 provides water and fat binding at a ration of 1:20 and improves texture and consistency and increases yield parts. It reduces purge, improves sliceability and juiciness, and offers excellent emulsifying properties. This results in a superior product that meets the highest standards of quality and taste.
