About Cappicollo

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 spices like black pepper, garlic, and sometimes chili flakes, it's dry-cured for several months to achieve its rich, savory flavor and tender texture. This delicacy is a staple in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed in antipasto platters, sandwiches, or thinly sliced on its own. Nutritionally, capocollo is protein-rich but also high in sodium and fat due to the curing process. It provides essential nutrients like Vitamin B12 and iron, supporting energy metabolism and red blood cell production. However, it is best consumed in moderation, as the high sodium content can contribute to elevated blood pressure, and its saturated fat content may not align with low-fat dietary goals. Choose minimally processed varieties for a cleaner option when including it in your diet.
