Slow Food Tuscan Mortadella
Description
Weight: 500g approx
This traditional "salami," crafted in Prato and its surrounding areas since before the 1950s and revived by Marini, has been thoughtfully updated for modern palates. With a lighter touch of spices and aromas, it delivers a more delicate flavour profile.
Made exclusively from pigs born and raised in Tuscany, it stands as a remarkable and uniquely refined example of Mortadella. This Mortadella is part of the Presidio Slow Food, a project by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity dedicated to safeguarding and promoting small-scale, traditional foods at risk of extinction.
These products are deeply rooted in specific regions, cultures, and artisanal methods. The Presidio initiative supports farmers, fishers, herders, and artisans who preserve these unique foods, ensuring their survival against industrialization, globalization, and environmental threats.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy thinly sliced mortadella in a sandwich or as part of an antipasti platter or charcuterie board. Add to a frittata or salads.
Pair with our excellent Tuscan Chianti Podere Gamba.

Our Producer
Marini
In 1904, Amos Marini, deputy mayor of Agliana, convinced his brother Angelo, known as "Uncle Michele," to open a butcher shop in Ferruccia. With no children, Angelo enlisted his brother Giuseppe and nephew Lido to help manage the business. Lido’s son, Marco, joined the family trade, and in 1971, Lido's other son, Claudio, opened a second shop in Olmi. Together, Marco and Claudio expanded the pork processing business, supplying products to restaurants and gourmet stores in Italy and abroad. Today, Marco’s sons, Nicola and Manuel, along with their mother Patrizia, continue the family tradition, now in its fourth generation.
