Mortadella Bologna IGP is a charcuterie product that belongs to the category of cooked sausages, prepared with a mixture of pork.
The origins of Mortadella Bologna IGP probably date back to the Etruscan era, hypothesized by the presence of other types of mortadella, albeit with different characteristics, in the territories once inhabited by the Etruscans. The name could derive from the Latin words murtatum, or minced meat in a mortar, or myrtatum, sausage made with meat dressed with myrtle berries.
