Fresh Zampone
Zampone is a pork-based delicacy, a close relative of cotechino, typical of the Christmas holidays.
The only difference between zampone and cotechino is the casing: cotechino is wrapped in the pig's gut, while zampone is placed in the hog's leg that has been emptied and boned.
What makes Pork Zampone special?
The shape of the Zampone is typical of the pig's foreleg. It has soft texture and when cut, the slices are compact, uniform and pinkish color tending to red. The flavor is distinctive, with a very intense and aromatic taste.
Zampone's origins date back to 1511: the citizens of Mirandola, besieged by the army of Pope Julius II della Rovere, decided to slaughter pigs to save them from pillage and to stuff the meat first in the rind, giving rise to cotechino, and later in the pigs' feet, creating zampone. The resulting product was highly successful.
