Capocollo, also known as coppa or capicola, is a traditional Italian cured meat made from the neck or shoulder of pork. Seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, it is typically dry-cured and aged, resulting in a tender, flavorful meat characterized by marbled fat and a rich, savory taste. With origins rooted in Italian cuisine, capocollo is a staple in antipasto platters and sandwiches. While it is a good source of protein, capocollo is also relatively high in sodium and saturated fat due to the curing process, which should be considered if consumed in large amounts. It does provide essential vitamins and minerals like iron and B-vitamins, but moderation is key when incorporating capocollo into a balanced diet. Its bold taste and satisfying texture make it a favorite indulgence in traditional Mediterranean dishes.
