Alps Hot Coppa, 2.5 lb. [Refrigerate after opening]

If your charcuterie board were a high-stakes action movie, Alps Hot Coppa would be the charismatic lead who walks away from explosions without looking back. Crafted from the premium pork collar muscle, this spicy Italian salumi is marbled with just enough creamy fat to carry a slow-burning heat that tickles the throat rather than scorching the tongue. It’s "hot" in the way a vintage sports car is hot—sleek, intentional, and bound to draw a crowd. This dry-cured pork undergoes a meticulous aging process where it’s rubbed with a signature blend of paprika and chili flakes, creating a deep crimson edge that looks stunning when sliced paper-thin. It is the ultimate deli meat for those who find "mild" a bit too polite for their taste buds. Whether you're stacking it high on a crusty baguette or letting it sweat slightly on a warm pizza, the Hot Coppa is a bold reminder that life is too short for boring sandwiches. It’s the artisanal salumi that brings the "zing" to the party, ensuring that every guest who grabs a slice comes back for a second—and likely a third. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Kickin' Kitchen" Hot Coppa & Hot Honey Pizza Nothing brings the family together like a homemade pizza night! Stretch out your favorite dough and layer on spicy tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Scatter torn pieces of Alps Hot Coppa across the top; as it bakes, the edges of the meat will crisp up into delicious "flavor cups." Once it slides out of the oven, have a friend drizzle the whole pie with hot honey and sprinkle on fresh basil. This spicy pizza recipe is a total crowd-pleaser that balances the heat of the coppa with the sweetness of the honey for a perfect Friday night vibe. Recipe #2: Hot Coppa & Roasted Pepper Pasta Bake For a cozy Sunday dinner with friends, toss al dente penne with a rich marinara, roasted red peppers, and sautéed ribbons of Alps Hot Coppa. Stir in plenty of ricotta and top with a mountain of parmesan before sliding it into the oven. The rendered fat from the Italian cured meat seeps into the sauce, giving the whole dish an incredible depth of spice. Serve it family-style right out of the dish with a big loaf of garlic bread and plenty of laughter. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: The "Spicy Accordion" Skewers Get the kids or your guests involved by assembling these easy party skewers: ribbon-fold a slice of Hot Coppa, then add a cube of provolone and a green olive. It’s a colorful, handheld keto-friendly appetizer that provides a punchy bite to kick off any backyard BBQ or cocktail hour. Appetizer #2: Hot Coppa Wrapped Grissini For a sophisticated but effortless snack, wrap thin slices of spicy coppa around crisp Italian breadsticks (grissini). Arrange them in a tall glass in the center of the table so friends can grab-and-go while mingling. The crunch of the bread combined with the melt-in-your-mouth cured pork is a classic pairing that never fails to impress. Ingredients: Pork, salt, dextrose, spices, sodium nitrite Size: 2.5 lb.
