The artisanal Cotechino Crudo, flagship product of Macelleria Fratton which has remained unchanged through all four generations, is almost completely free of nitrites and nitrates, a choice that combines the protection of the end consumer's health and compliance with European regulations. According to European Directive 95/2/EC of 1995, in fact, for meat products that are not subjected to thermal treatment, such as sausages, which are made from raw meat, it is mandatory to add a minimal percentage of these substances that act as "reserve preservatives" to prevent the development of very dangerous pathogenic microorganisms for health and thus a potential risk of botulism poisoning. Therefore, when you find a product of this type with the label "Absence of artificial preservatives," know that a minimal amount is still present in the product, by law at levels far below regulatory maximums, or that a natural 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 relationship of complete trust with the customer, as desired by the philosophy of Macelleria Fratton. The Cotechino Crudo from Macelleria Fratton is enclosed in a 100% natural sheep intestine casing and is strictly hand-tied. A testament to the quality of this product is its limited production in terms of pieces, as it requires a long entirely artisanal process. Cotechino Crudo from Macelleria Fratton: not only at Christmas. King of winter cuisine, especially of the Christmas one, the Cotechino Crudo 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 Padano sausage passed down for centuries, the production of this sausage involves the use of one third lean pork, one third fat, and one third rind or skin, all ground and flavored with salt and pepper. Simplicity that becomes true poetry on the plate! Get creative with pairings, because, strangely enough, cotechino is not always eaten only with lentils. Cotechino Crudo from Macelleria Fratton: characteristics. The Cotechino Crudo from Macelleria Fratton has the typical pink color, interspersed with the white of the pork fat. When cut, the meat is extremely tender and gelatinous. The smell is delicious and inviting, while the flavor has a characteristic sweet note due to the high fat content. To be consumed after careful cooking. Packaging: vacuum sealed.
