Coppa Stagionata, also known as “Capocollo,” is a prized delicacy from Italy, especially in regions such as Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. This cured meat is made from the pork neck, which is carefully seasoned with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic, and aromatic herbs, before being left to age for several months.

The result is a tender, marbled slice with a smooth texture and robust flavor. The fat marbling ensures the meat remains juicy and flavorful, while the seasoning adds a depth of taste without overwhelming the palate. Coppa Stagionata is perfect for slicing thinly and serving as part of an antipasto platter, or pairing with cheeses and wines.

Enjoy it in sandwiches, with crusty bread, or as part of a charcuterie board. It also makes an excellent topping for pizzas or pasta dishes, bringing a touch of Italy to any meal.
