Artisan Tuscan Aged Capocollo 'Coppa'
Description
Weight: 500g (approx)
Particularly sweet and bold in flavour, this Capocollo has a distinguished taste, imparted by a long ageing process of at least 4 months in a cellar.
Capocollo is a traditional Italian speciality – a cured meat from the neck or shoulder of pork, capo means head, collo is neck.
Light red in colour, its taste is intense and it has a delicate aroma. It is amply spiced; sometimes smoked or conserved in olive oil or flavoured with cooked wine.
Capocollo is cylindrical in shape and its surface is entirely wrapped in natural casing and tied with strings.
Capocollo is great by itself, finely sliced, as an appetizer or a traditional snack, maybe with some thick bread. It can be served on a board along with other cold cuts such as Soppressata, Pancetta or Salsiccia.
Choose quite full bodied red wines to accompany your capocollo such as Cirò DOC, Primitivo di Manduria DOC or perhaps Barbera.
