About Capocola ham

Capocollo, also known as Capicola or Coppa, is a traditional Italian cured meat made from pork shoulder or neck. This delicacy is seasoned with a blend of spices, which may include black pepper, garlic, and red pepper, and then dry-cured to enhance its flavor. Originating from Italy, Capocollo is a staple in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed as part of charcuterie boards, sandwiches, or antipasto platters. Rich in protein, it provides energy and essential nutrients, but it is also high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process. While its bold flavors and tender texture make it a favorite among aficionados, moderation is key for those monitoring their fat or salt intake. Pairing Capocollo with fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread can create a balanced dish that harmonizes its robust taste with healthier options.
