About Capicolla

Capicolla, also known as coppa or capocollo, is a traditional Italian cured meat made from pork shoulder or neck, seasoned with spices such as black pepper, garlic, and paprika. This delicacy is typically dry-cured, creating its signature tender texture and rich, savory flavor. Often enjoyed on charcuterie boards, in sandwiches, or as a pizza topping, it is prized in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Nutritionally, capicolla is a good source of protein and contains essential vitamins and minerals like zinc and B vitamins. However, it is also high in fat and sodium due to the curing process, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring their sodium intake. Opting for smaller portions and pairing capicolla with fresh vegetables or whole grains can help balance its indulgence with a more health-conscious approach.
