This is "pork butter" in its purest form. Uncured Coppa is made from the pork collar, a muscle known for its incredible intramuscular marbling. Because it is "uncured" (meaning no added nitrates or nitrites beyond those naturally occurring), the clean, sweet flavor of the heritage-breed pork is the star. It is the best "melt-in-your-mouth" charcuterie—silky, savory, and incredibly tender. It’s for the host who wants to serve the highest-quality, "clean label" meat without sacrificing a single drop of traditional Italian flavor. The Recipes Recipe #1: Coppa-Wrapped Asparagus Wrap bundles of asparagus in Uncured Coppa and roast until the meat is crispy and the fat has basted the vegetables. A sophisticated, healthy family side dish. Recipe #2: The "Elite" Breakfast Panini Use Coppa instead of bacon in a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and fontina. The marbled fat creates a decadent, restaurant-style brunch. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Coppa & Fig "Roses" Roll slices into rose shapes and place atop halved fresh figs. The sweet fruit and buttery pork are a stunning, high-end appetizer. Appetizer #2: The "Clean" Charcuterie Bite Serve simply with a Marcona almond and a green olive. The simplicity allows the quality of the uncured pork to be the focus.
