What is Capicola?

Capocollo, capicola, capicolla, coppa, or gabagoul, is a traditional Italian pork cold cut made from the dry-cured muscle running from the neck to the fourth or fifth rib of the pork shoulder or neck. It is a whole-muscle salume, dry cured, and typically sliced very thin. This flavourful deli meat is beloved for it’s 30% fat to 70% lean ratio, making the meat moist and tender.
