Viena Mortadella Pesto and Cheese Sandwich
What it is
This is a pre-made sandwich featuring mortadella, pesto, and cheese. The mortadella is a cured Italian sausage, typically made from pork. Pesto is a sauce originating in Genoa, Italy, traditionally consisting of crushed garlic, basil, and European pine nuts blended with olive oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and Pecorino Sardo cheese. The cheese adds another layer of flavor and texture to the combination.
