The Mortadella with black pepper Nero dei Nebrodi

Nebrodinero bases its activity on enhancing the value of the Nebrodi Black Pig, a native breed raised in keeping with tradition. In the woods of northern Sicily, the piglets grow up free, feeding naturally on berries, acorns, chestnuts and tubers, elements that give the meat an authentic and rich flavour, and this is where Nero di Nebrodi Mortadella with black pepper is born

Nero di Nebrodi Mortadella with black pepper

The Nebrodi Black Pig is a native Sicilian pig breed raised for centuries in the mountainous and wooded areas of the region. It is easily recognisable by its dark, almost completely black coat, its rustic build and its great ability to adapt to the natural environment.

It is traditionally raised semi-wild or free-range, feeding on what the land offers: acorns, roots, wild herbs and cereals supplemented by the farmer. This type of farming gives the meat unique organoleptic characteristics, making it particularly prized. The Nebrodi Black Pig is raised semi-wild across 140 hectares of mostly wooded land, where it can move freely and feed naturally on acorns, roots and wild fruits. The unspoiled environment of the Nebrodi Park and the richness of its ecosystem contribute to the animals' wellbeing and give the meat distinctive quality and organoleptic characteristics.

Characteristics of the meat

Preserving and enhancing the purity of the Nebrodi Black Pig, raised semi-wild in the heart of the Nebrodi Park. We operate a closed-loop system, following every stage of the animal's life, from birth to processing. Our pigs feed mainly on the natural resources of the woods, supplemented only with Sicilian barley. Continuous grazing favours a high assimilation of Vitamin E, giving the meat superior organoleptic and nutritional qualities. Each animal is registered with the ANAS Register, guaranteeing the origin and purity of the breed. Processing takes place in our salumeria set in the woods, with manual processing and natural ageing that enhance the aromas of the local area.

Nero di Nebrodi Mortadella with black pepper

Nebrodi Black Pig Mortadella is a highly prized artisan cured meat that combines traditional pork-curing craftsmanship with the unique quality of meat from the Nebrodi Black Pig, a native Sicilian breed raised semi-wild among the woods of the Nebrodi Mountains. Here the animals grow slowly, feeding on acorns, chestnuts, roots and wild herbs that help give the meat an intense and natural aromatic profile.

The processing follows artisan methods that respect the raw ingredients: the selected meats are finely ground, enriched with cubes of chosen lard and flavoured with a balanced blend of spices. The mixture is then stuffed and slowly cooked, allowing delicate aromas and a soft, velvety texture to develop.

Organoleptic characteristics

• Appearance: when sliced it is compact and even, with a natural pink colour enhanced by the characteristic white lardons, well distributed throughout.

  Aroma: it releases delicate, inviting aromas, with slightly spicy notes and sweet hints that reflect the quality of the meats used.

  Texture: the slice is soft, velvety and slightly melting on the palate thanks to the presence of the lardons.

  Flavour: the taste is full and enveloping, with a natural sweetness well balanced by light aromatic and spicy notes that make for a balanced and lingering tasting experience.
• Ideal paired with fresh or medium-aged cheeses and grilled or oil-preserved vegetables
