If you’re a cold cuts lover the Musetto - Salumificio Lovison is absolutely a must. It is a typical Italian specialty particularly fit for the Christmas period too, as it reminds of a cotechino but with some substantial differences, starting from the hand made hot processing right after the butchering, one of the elements that differentiates the Salumificio Lovison. The Musetto Lovison, as the name suggests, is only made up of the parts of the pig’s face (cheek, throat, tongue, skin) and this makes it unique, also due to the registered mark, indeed it is the only product that can be called with this name. The hours of boiling will be enough for the Musetto Lovison to be the main character of you Christmas (and not only) lunches and dinners.

We know, seeing Christmas products advertisements already in October can be kinda stressing, but our opinion about Christmas specialities is: if it is good, why not eating it all year long? Or more than two weeks per year at least.

As we've just told you about our Christmas products and special Christmas boxes, so we're giving you one of the most famous and typical Italian Christmas recipes: the cotechino with lentils. In this case we're using the Musetto - Salumificio Lovison, which is a very special kind of cotechino famous among all the Italian gastronomy passionates and chefs. Many things makes this product different from the average cotechino, from the meat which come from 100% Friulian porks bred without GMO animal feeds , to the part of the pork used (cheeks, throat, shin and rind) and the secret mixture of spices which make it both tasty and delicate.
