Cotechino (/ ˌkoʊtᵻkiːnoʊ / / Italian: [kotekiːno]) is a
large Italian pork sausage similar to salami, but must be cooked. This sausage
is usually boiled with a low temperature for several hours. In the Italian
tradition, the sausage is served with lentils on New Year's Eve because lentils
are believed to be making money abundantly the following year.
This sausage
is made from pork skin, pork (usually second choice), and fat mixed with salt
and spices. Manufactured cottonino is usually added with nitrite and nitrate as
a preservative.
The cotechino
product from Modena has been recognized as a product of Indicazione Geografica
Protetta (IGP), or in other words the recipe and its production are protected
by Italian law.
