Coppa is a salted, cured, and slowly matured meat prepared from the shoulder of pigs. The meat is processed for a minimum of five months.
The texture of the meat is smooth and firm, and the taste is extremely rich and intense, with flavors reminiscent of fruit, mushrooms, hazelnuts, and a woody, salty, peppery taste, as well as a slightly buttery and smoky aroma. Once this unique, lean meat is sliced thinly, a deep red and marbled color shows along with the white-pinkish intermuscular fat, the oily slices ready to be consumed with a slice of toasted bread or paired with cheese.
