What Is Capicola Vs Salami?
Capicola (also known as coppa) and salami are both types of Italian cured meats, but differ in the types of meat and preparation method used. Capicola is made from the neck or shoulder of the pig, and is dry-cured and aged. It has a rich, spicy flavor and a tender texture. Salami, on the other hand, can be made from a variety of pork cuts and is usually seasoned with garlic, spices, and wine. It is air-dried and fermented, resulting in a tangy, slightly sour taste and a firm texture.
