Mortadella with Pistachios by Coati: the Bologna Tradition, Made in Valpolicella
Mortadella with pistachios by Salumificio F.lli Coati is a steam-cooked pork specialty with pistachios folded into the paste, sold as a half piece of around 3.5 kg, shrink-wrapped under vacuum. It is gluten-free and free from milk derivatives, with a 120-day shelf life from production and storage at 0-4 °C. Variable-weight format, ideal for the deli counter and high-volume professional slicing.
What Mortadella Is
Mortadella is one of the oldest cooked cured meats of the Emilian and Po Valley tradition, with documented roots in Bologna. It is made from finely ground pork worked into a smooth pink paste, studded with cubes of select fat and, in this version, whole pistachios. Slow steam stoving gives mortadella its silky texture, its delicate aroma and the unmistakable mosaic appearance when sliced. The pistachio adds a sweet, fragrant note and the classic green-and-pink contrast that has made this a sought-after deli classic.
The Producer: Salumificio F.lli Coati
Salumificio F.lli Coati was founded in the early 20th century on the hills of Valpolicella, in the province of Verona, and is today a fourth-generation family business. From its Veronese plants the company has built a reputation across Italian and international food service for cooked and cured specialties. This mortadella belongs to its specialty line, produced without gluten and without milk derivatives.
Sensory Profile
The slice is soft and uniform, pale pink, dotted with white fat cubes and bright green pistachios. The aroma is delicate and gently spiced; the flavor is sweet and rounded, with the toasted, buttery accent of pistachio. The texture is tender and melting, best appreciated when the meat is sliced thin and served at 14-16 °C rather than straight from the fridge.

Professional Uses
Mortadella with pistachios is a workhorse of the Italian deli and professional kitchen. Slice it paper-thin by machine for charcuterie boards and Italian antipasti alongside coppa, salame Milano and Napoli. Whip it into a mortadella-and-pistachio mousse for crostini, gougeres or to fill fresh ravioli and tortellini. Use it diced as a filling for Neapolitan pizza fritta and calzone, or layered in gourmet sandwiches, tramezzini and piadine. A scattering of chopped pistachio on top reinforces the aromatic note.
Pairings
Pairs naturally with fresh stracciatella or fior di latte, focaccia and semola bread, pickled vegetables and a crisp white wine. On a charcuterie board it balances the saltier cured salami; in sandwiches it loves soft, fragrant bread and a touch of pistachio cream.
