Cotechino cotto, originally from Emilia-Romagna, is a delicate whole sausage  with a soft, almost creamy texture. This fresh pork sausage is seasoned with nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper. Cotechino is traditionally served with lentils and vegetables for New Year’s Eve in Italian families. This domestic product is fully cooked and needs only to be heated for 20 minutes before removing the casing and serving. A perishable, cotechino may need to be shipped 2nd day, depending on distance.
