Cotechino (pronounced ko-te-kee-no) is originally an Emilian sausage made of pork, lard, pork rind and spices, which requires cooking. Because of the pork rind, it is considered a “poor” food, but it has nevertheless won a place of honor at the table on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Cotechino di Modena has earned PGI recognition.
Italian Tradition
The name comes from cotica (pork rind), because that is primarily what the filling is made of. Indeed, cotechino was developed to use the pork rinds and the less valuable parts of the pig. Since pigs were generally slaughtered in December, this sausage became a symbol of the holidays, accompanied by lentils, mostarda or mashed potatoes. To be eaten after long cooking, which gives the meat a melted consistency. The classic cotechino in natural casings is typical of Modena, Mantua and Cremona, and is also found in regions like Piedmont, Veneto and Trentino. This is the traditional dish to serve on New Year’s Eve, along with lentils, which traditionally bring good luck and wealth.
