Citterio
A sandwich that smells of taste and creativity: bread with Tagliofresco Citterio Mortadella, squacquerone cheese, and pistachio pesto is an explosion of flavors, combining softness, creaminess, and aromatic notes. Perfect for a quick yet refined lunch, an outdoor picnic, or a gourmet idea to share.
2 soft rolls such as ciabatta, focaccia, or rosetta
100 g Tagliofresco Mortadella Citterio
100 g Squacquerone cheese
2 tablespoons pistachio pesto
Cut the sandwiches in half and, if you like, lightly toast them on a griddle or in the oven to make them crispier.
Spread the squacquerone generously on the bottom of the sandwich. If it’s too firm, soften it first with a teaspoon.
Spoon a tablespoon of pistachio pesto over the squacquerone, spreading it evenly.
Add the slices of Tagliofresco Citterio Mortadella and, if you like, a few arugula leaves. A grind of black pepper to enhance the flavor, then close the sandwich.
Serve immediately, accompanied by crispy chips or a fresh salad for a complete and tasty meal.
Tagliofresco
According to tradition, the name "Mortadella" comes from the Middle Ages when the mixture was crushed in a mortar. Today, as then, Citterio produces Mortadella Bologna PGI with care and attention, making its quality and aroma unique. Available in three sizes that preserve its just-sliced flavour.
