Nduja is distinctly different from any other cured meat, with an absolutely unmistakable taste. The quality of the chilli also has its importance to obtain such a characteristic result. 

It can help to prepare the nduja by heating it a little in a saucepan and mixing it with ricotta, which will soften the spiciness of the nduja. Then spread the mixture on slices of bread, preferably slightly toasted on a plate or grill. The nduja can also be used to season pasta, pizzas, as well as anything your imagination suggests.
