Cotecchino Modena - Imported from Italy
The cotecchino is an Italian charcuterie product, similar to salami, but requiring cooking; usually it is boiled at low heat for about four hours. Its name comes from cotica (rind), but it may take different names in the different production areas. According to tradition, it is served with lentils on New Year's Eve, because lentils”due to their shape”are 'credited' to bring money for the coming year.
