It cannot be produced at any time of the year. To possess all the organoleptic characteristics and the correct consistency, it must be produced in the colder winter months, when pork is traditionally processed. From the animal, the fatback (\u003cem\u003elardello\u003c\/em\u003e), pork jowl (\u003cem\u003eguanciale\u003c\/em\u003e), and pancetta are used. Salt and plenty of spicy Calabrian \u003cem\u003epeperoncino\u003c\/em\u003e are added. It contains no preservatives, thanks to the amount of spicy chili pepper, which has antiseptic properties. Another characteristic that makes this sausage unique in its kind is its creamy consistency, allowing it to be spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Nduja originates from Spilinga, a small municipality in the province of Vibo Valentia. In recent decades, many Calabrian variants of this sausage have emerged, but Spilinga holds the paternity of the original recipe and the title of 'Nduja City. Since 1975, one of the most important festivals in the region has been held there on August 8th.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its creamy consistency, 'Nduja is perfect to be enjoyed as an appetizer or starter, on bruschettas, for example, but it can also be used on pizzas and pinsas or to season pasta dishes. \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIt is recommended to combine it with \u003cem\u003epaccheri,\u003c\/em\u003e which are able to magnificently retain the seasoning, or with \u003cem\u003escialatielli.\u003c\/em\u003e The caliber of this pasta ensures a perfect harmonization between the flavor of durum wheat and the spiciness of 'Nduja. \u003c\/span\u003eSome traditional Calabrian recipes suggest other uses for 'Nduja: with roasted zucchini flowers, in 'Nduja and Caciocavallo Silano timbale, or in eggplant and 'Nduja meatballs, which are combined with tuna and aromatic herbs.
