Coppa tasting Sept 2012


Well after about three months of drying the coppa has reached 40% weight loss and is now safe to eat.  This coppa  has a simple cure combined with imported peperoncino powder similar to Capocollo di Calabria.  The taste was simple, slight taste of the pepper but the cured meat flavor was more evident. Next time we will add some crush pepper flakes to add to the heat level. The pork we got from a local butcher shop had great marbling as you can see in the picture and it cured with a nice color.
