What is capicola?

Also known as coppa, capocollo, or gabagool, capicola is a traditional Italian cold cut made from a large cut of pork meat that starts at the solid muscle between the head (capo) and includes the fourth or fifth rib of the pork shoulder (collo). A popular Corsican pork salami, coppa meat is dry cured and sliced very thin, making it ideal for sandwiches, pasta, and antipasti platters.

The secret to its tender, savory flavor is a combination of herbs and spices, including garlic, paprika, and red or white wine. After being salted and seasoned, the capicola meat is stuffed into a natural casing and hung for four to six months for curing. Coppa meat is especially loved for its mellow flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

How to Eat Capicola

Capicola is an essential ingredient in the famous Muffalletta sandwich from New Orleans. For a classic Italian capicola sandwich, try combining capicola ham slices, basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. This gourmet cold cut also makes an excellent addition to a charcuterie board, along with the classic favorites like prosciutto and soppressata. Add your favorite Italian cheeses, fresh fruit, and honey.

FAQs about capocollo

In the United States, you may hear about hot capocollo, which is an Americanized version of traditional capocollo. To create it, the meat will be seasoned using a hot red pepper to give the meat an extra kick. Hot capocollo is often found in gourmet delicatessens and is more costly than traditional capocollo. 

As with many types of meat, there are several ways to refer to capocollo, but each term could mean something slightly different. One reason for the variation in names is that many regions in Italy have their own versions of capocollo.

Some regions will stuff the meat into an intestinal casing, use wine in the curing process, and use different spices than other regions. While they are all considered the same type of Italian meat, you may find a slight variation in flavor based on the processing methods.

You may also find another capocollo, referred to as ham-capi or ham capocollo. While this meat is a spiced pork recipe, it is more of a cross between a capocollo and a ham. The ham is spiced and then boiled instead of cured. 

Often times capocollo will be confused with another thinly-sliced, cured pork meat called prosciutto. It also can be confused with other cured pork meats.

While all of the cured meats will go through a similar process where they are washed, salted, and dried, each meat will come from a different area of the pig. For example, the meat used for prosciutto is cut from the hind leg of the pig. The curing process will then take between nine months and two years.

Speck is another form of thin-sliced cured meat, which comes from the pig's hind leg. Yet, instead of simply being cured, it will also be cold smoked once the curing process has been completed. Capocollo will be dry-cured for approximately two to four months,

While all of the meats provide a smoky and salty flavor, the tastes are very distinctive.

Whether you have already made capocollo a staple on your menu or are looking to try something new, Instacart shoppers can deliver capocollo to your home in as little as 2 hours straight from your local store!
