Sweet Cappicola, Black Pepper Coated - 3.3 lbs
Sweet Cappicola is a beautiful, Italian-style salame, with a delicate yet rich mouthfeel accompanied by sweet yet peppery flavor. Cappicola is a North American term for what is known in Italy as Capocollo, or Coppa (other names include Capicollu, Ionza and Finocchiata). Cut from a muscle in the pig's neck-shoulder area, the meat is dry-cured and made into a whole muscle salame. As a result it is never perfectly round like a grind salami, instead taking the shape of the pig's shoulder. The dry-aging process imbues the meat with a unique sweet flavor, while a coating of black pepper gives it added spiciness. It is best enjoyed sliced into thin, beautifully marbled slices that look and taste bold on an elegant cheese board or antipasto platter. Alternatively, use it to make fancy canapes and salads, or as a filling for a truly gourmet Italian sub.
