Cured Capocollo 1.8 LB

Intriguing on the nose with its light smoking and echo of chili pepper. A gratifyingly delicate, smoky, seasoned flavor, finished with a note of spiciness.

The capocollo is a typical cured deli meat of Campania, Puglia and Calabria. It consists of a single cut of whole meat – the pig neck - salted and flavored with spices and paprika, stuffed into natural casing, reinforced with two sticks of bamboo, smoked and seasoned slowly for a few months.

Pigs born and bread in Italy. Italian pork meat, sea salt, spices, sugar, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite.

We suggest sweet flavors like pumpkin, zucchini, potatoes and onions. Delicious with the bruschetta of homemade bread and focaccia bread. Excellent for preparing cutlets, saltimbocca, savory pies and pizzas. The slice, tied with chives and stuffed with burrata or ricotta cheese becomes a delicious dumpling.

We suggest a Costa D'Amalfi CDO Furore Bianco: a light straw-yellow color, delicate, fruity, with a balanced flavor where the acidulous note slightly dominate to support the freshness of the flavorings. Alternatively, a Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo CDO: cherry red color, fruity, fine and intense, delicate with a pleasantly almond aftertaste.
