Cotechino is a typical traditional smoked meat characterised by medium grinding, soft consistency, intense taste and aroma. Cotechino is a sausage variety that is consumed cooked and is widely used in all regions of northern Italy. It owes its name to the blacks, the pig's ward. According to tradition, Cotechino is consumed on New Year's Eve in Italian families because it is said to bring good luck, and the consumption of the side lenses should bring a lot of money. Cotechino also goes great with mashed potatoes, topinambur or chickpeas. If you like spinach, boil it, fry it in a splash of oil with a clove of garlic and then serve it with the cotechino. Otherwise, green beans are another vegetable that goes well with this salami. Gluten free lactose free
