Capocollo, also known as coppa or capicola, is a traditional Italian cured meat made from pork neck or shoulder. It is seasoned with a mix of spices, such as black pepper, garlic, and sometimes paprika, then dry-cured for several months to develop its rich, savory flavor. Originating in Italy, capocollo is a staple in Italian cuisine and often thinly sliced for antipasto platters or sandwiches. Nutritionally, capocollo is high in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc, aiding muscle repair and immune health. However, it's also high in sodium and saturated fat, which can contribute to cardiovascular issues if consumed excessively. Moderation is key, as capocollo’s intense flavor means a little goes a long way. Pair it with whole-grain bread, fresh vegetables, or fruits to balance your meal and add nutritional value.
