Cotechino Modena IGP is a fresh pork sausage of lean meat, fat and rind, cooked slowly and sliced into soft, rosy rounds, the Modenese partner of lentils at the New Year dinner.
Vincenzo Tanara mentioned the cotechino in his 1644 treatise, and Modena and Ferrara disputed its invention for more than a century: Antonio Frizzi's 1772 Salameide gave the cotechino to Ferrara and the zampone to Modena, while the Modenese Tigrinto Bistonio had already claimed a Modenese origin in 1761. The IGP for Cotechino Modena settled the matter in Modena's favour, and the sausage is still made with meat ground through 7 to 10mm plates.
