What Is Mortadella And What Does It Taste Like?

Some foodies may call mortadella "the bologna of Italy," but the addictive cold cut is much more than that. Watch our video to find out how it differs from other cold cuts, what it tastes like, and why it's so darn hard to find in stores.

I didn't know anything about Mortadella until recently trying at my deli; now I cut a cold slice into ribbons to go in my salad. It's delicious. My salads usually end up being: one ribboned slice of Mortadella, mixed greens, 7/8 cucumber slices, 3/4 sliced vine grape tomatoes, 3/4 sliced/pitted castelvetrano olives, caesar dressing and a little shaved pecorino romanno cheese. 🥗

In the city of São Paulo, in Brazil, the Mortadella and grilled cheese sandwich is a local favorite.

Oscar Myer bologna is based on German Austrian Alsatian bologna, which is milder than the Italian variety.

American bologna cannot hold a candle to Mortadella. There is no comparison!

I am already a fan of the other italian cold cuts like prosciutto and the rest of the gaba gu. I've gotta try this one too.

It tastes like a really good bologna with pistachios. Love it!

Here in the UK nearly all Supermarkets sell it in the Continental cold meat chiller. 👍

Recently discovered mortadella am also infortunately on quite a strict diet

[RalphBarbagallo]

The most controversial cold cut. I grew up with this and absolutely love it. But a lot of people are grossed out by it.

The background music makes you feel like you're in a crazy house

It's delicious and it tastes like Angel's tears.
