Product Information

It certainly would have been possible to find ’nduja in Italian delicatessens in the Calabrian diasporas in Europe, USA, South America, and Australia – of the many millions of Italians who emigrated from the 1870s to 1970s, the majority were from Southern Italy’s regions of Calabria and Sicily – however, it wasn’t yet on restaurant menus around the world.

Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan)/350F/gas 4. Spread out the nuts on a baking tray and roast for 10-12 minutes, until pale golden, then remove and leave to cool. Cheese: Mozzarella has a subtle and nutty flavour which works well with spicy dishes, as it complements rather than complicates the flavours. You could use any form of mozzarella for this recipe, and trust me when I say there’s plenty to choose from.

If you’ve not heard of ‘Nduja before, it’s quite similar to chorizo in flavour. Originating from Italy, ‘Nduja is a spicy pork sausage with an extremely soft texture.
