The muffuletta is a sandwich found in New Orleans, LA, USA. It originates from the Italian community and was first made and popularized at the French Quarter's Central Grocery. It is made from a variety of sausages and cheeses and served with an olive spread on a muffuletta loaf. Other types of round loaves can be substituted if necessary.
