  • 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.

      LOVE mortadella. It is not hard to find here in the states at least my state. I prefer the mortadella with pistachio then the mortadella pepper one.

      ​@@kevinJ6665Actually it is a superb original.
      Americans have cheap copy BS called "bologna" and like that was not enough, Americans pronounce it wrongly. 🙄
      That product's name was given per Italian city of Bologna, where real Mortadella comes from !!
      American food culture is mainly distorted European one , which came to Americas with Eu settlers.

    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. 🥗

    I'm Italian. We always had a big waxed paper package of Capicola in the refrigerator when I was a kid. It was rather dark and spicy, with large veins of fat running through the meat. The older Italians in our family loved it! ha ha
    I forgot all about it until I heard it mentioned in The Sopranos! I think they called it "gaba-gool". It had to be the same stuff.
