First of all, I apologize on behalf of the deli clerk where I bought the MORTADELLA because it was sliced so poorly that the slices are almost full of holes, and clearly when I placed them on the savory cake I was horrified. Aside from this, the recipe for the savory rice cake with crescenza and mortadella is very, very tasty! As soon as the rice base came out of the oven, I added the crescenza which melted into the rice, resulting in a savory dish, and the MORTADELLA enhanced the flavor of everything!
Personally, the savory rice cake with CRESCENZA and mortadella was the main dish of our dinner, but I believe that perhaps by making it in a rectangular mold and then cutting it into squares, it could also be considered as a delightful appetizer…

Tips and Notes
Mortadella, also known as Bologna, is an emblem of the city of Emilia and is a very tasty cured meat.
The first recipe with mortadella known dates back to the seventeenth century, and it mentions it with very precise details, Vincenzo Tanara.
The composition of the meat to make mortadella was defined in 1661 when the Corporations of Salaroli and Lardaroli, to ensure the quality of the product, listed the fundamental requirements of the cured meat and first of all that it be made exclusively with pork.
The Mortadella Bologna IGP is protected by the Bologna Consortium, which guarantees its quality, origin, and is vigilant against counterfeits, etc.
