WHAT PRODUCT DO YOU GET?

You'll receive a fresh pork cotechino to cook, a traditional sausage made from pork meat and rind, prepared to give a soft texture and an intense flavour.

The rind is what defines cotechino: during long cooking it softens and helps create the typical firm, soft and slightly gelatinous texture.

Its spiced aroma and bold flavour make cotechino one of the most iconic products of Italian winter cooking. It is traditionally served during the festive season, especially on New Year's Eve, but can be enjoyed at any time of year.

Cotechino pairs perfectly with lentils, mashed potato, polenta, cooked vegetables and mostarda (Italian mustard fruit). Slow, gentle cooking lets the filling cook evenly while keeping its characteristic softness.

The meat comes from pigs born and reared in Italy, raised to strict quality and animal welfare standards. Their feed is GMO-free and supplemented with plant sources of omega-3.

Product name: Fresh pork cotechino
Place of birth: Italy
Rearing: Reared in Italy
Cutting plant: IT 9-1658/L CE
Use by: 30 days from packing, as shown on the label
Traceability code: batch number on the label

Storage: keep refrigerated at a temperature between 0 and 4 °C and eat only when fully cooked. If the product will not be eaten within four days of receipt, we recommend storing it in the freezer.

WHY BUY FROM US?

Our fresh cotechino is for anyone who wants to serve a product with an intense flavour, a distinctive texture and deep roots in Italian tradition.

  • Traditional recipe: made with pork meat and rind
  • Distinctive texture: soft, firm and slightly gelatinous once cooked
  • Intense flavour: with an inviting spiced aroma
  • Slow cooking: lets the filling soften and cook evenly
  • Very versatile: ideal with lentils, mash, polenta, vegetables and mostarda
  • Italian origin: meat from pigs born and reared in Italy
  • Animal welfare: pigs raised to strict quality and welfare standards
  • GMO-free feed: supplemented with plant sources of Omega-3
  • Traceability: the batch and the cutting plant are shown on the pack label

What makes cotechino special is the balance between meat and rind. During long cooking the rind softens and helps bind the filling, creating the product's typical texture.

It can be served as a main course or as part of a bollito misto (mixed boiled meats). Cut into even slices and served with a creamy side, it becomes a complete dish full of character.

Information on the origin of the meat and the cutting plant is on the label, so you can check the main traceability details yourself.

OUR GUARANTEE

Buying from us means choosing a product that comes with clear, verifiable information. Every pack shows the details needed to identify the origin of the meat, the cutting plant, the use-by date and the batch number.

The cotechino is carefully made and packed to preserve its texture and qualities until delivery. Once properly cooked, it offers an intense, spiced and pleasantly lingering flavour.

We also offer a satisfaction or your money back guarantee. If there is a problem with the product or during transport, get in touch: after the necessary checks, we will refund you or send your order again.

Recipe from our blog: Cotechino with lentils

Fresh Cotechino with Lentils

Fresh cotechino needs slow, gentle cooking. Avoid boiling it too hard, as this could split the casing and make the cooking less even.

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh Corte Preziosa pork cotechino
  • Cold water, as needed
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • 250 g lentils
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 celery stick
  • 1 onion
  • Passata or tomato purée (optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

1. Prepare the cotechino:
Rinse the cotechino gently under cold water. If you like, leave it to soak in cold water for about 1-2 hours before cooking.

Wrap it in a clean cloth suitable for cooking or in baking paper, tying it gently. This helps it keep its shape during the long time in the water.

2. Start with a cold pan:
Place the cotechino in a large pan and cover it completely with cold water. Add a bay leaf if you like.

3. Cook slowly:
Bring the water slowly to just below the boil, then lower the heat. The water should simmer gently, not boil vigorously.

Cook the cotechino for about 2-3 hours. The time may vary depending on its weight and thickness. Before serving, check that it is fully cooked in the centre too.

4. Prepare the lentils:
Chop the carrot, celery and onion and soften them in a saucepan with a drizzle of oil. Add the lentils and, if you like, a little tomato.

Cover with water or stock and cook until the lentils are tender. Season with salt and pepper only towards the end of cooking.

5. Let the cotechino rest:
Once cooked, lift the cotechino out of the water and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Gently remove the cloth and the outer casing.

6. Slice and serve:
Cut the cotechino into even slices and arrange them on the hot lentils. You can also serve it with mashed potato, polenta or mostarda.

Tip: use a very sharp knife and slice the cotechino only after resting, so the slices hold their shape better.

HOW AND WHEN WILL YOU RECEIVE IT?

The cotechino is shipped by refrigerated courier specialising in food transport. The temperature is monitored throughout the journey, maintaining the correct storage conditions until the first delivery attempt.

From dispatch, delivery usually takes 24-48 hours. During periods with a very high volume of orders, preparing and dispatching your shipment may take longer.

Once the parcel has been handed to the carrier, you will receive the tracking by email so you can follow it until delivery.

When it arrives, put the pack straight into the fridge at a temperature between 0 and 4 °C. If you do not plan to eat the product within four days, you can freeze it.

  • VACUUM-PACKED

    Every product is individually vacuum-packed to keep quality at its best and changes to a minimum.

FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I ORDER?

You can order our products directly on the website: open the menu and choose your favourite cut, the weight and how you would like it cut. You can also order easily through our official app, available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

If you prefer, you can place your order by phone on +39 3351575368: I will personally help you at every step. You can also contact us on WhatsApp for help and personal advice. We are here to make ordering simple and pleasant, with quick, personal support.

HOW DOES SHIPPING WORK?

We cut our products to order, so they reach you fresh. Each product is vacuum-packed and placed in an insulated box made of non-toxic EPP (expanded polypropylene), a safe and sturdy material. This packaging keeps the temperature between 1 °C and 4 °C for up to 72 hours, so the products stay fresh throughout shipping.

On top of that, every parcel is delivered by refrigerated courier, for the best quality and food safety. This special transport keeps a constant 0 °C for the whole journey, so the products arrive in the best possible condition. This way you always receive your products fresh, as if they had just been cut.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?

Corte Preziosa delivers straight to your home, as fresh as possible.

We process orders from Monday until 10:00 on Thursday, so we can handle every request with care. Preparation normally takes a few days, but when demand is high it can take up to a week, so that every product gets the same care and craftsmanship.

All our products are fresh, never frozen. Once ready, they are shipped and delivered within 24/48 hours by an efficient delivery system that gets them to you in perfect condition, as if just prepared.

Choosing Corte Preziosa means choosing freshness, quality and reliability.

HOW LONG DOES THE MEAT KEEP?

Thanks to vacuum packing, our meat keeps for at least 7 days from the packing date. Vacuum packing not only keeps the meat fresh for longer, it also preserves its flavour and quality, so it tastes freshly cut even after several days.

For full transparency and safety, every piece of meat has a clear, detailed label showing the packing date and the use-by date. That way you always know exactly how long the product will be at its freshest and can plan your meals. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality mean you always get the best experience from Corte Preziosa products.

HOW SHOULD I STORE THE MEAT?

Keep our meat on the bottom shelf of the fridge, between 0 and 4 °C.

You can also freeze it.
