Old fashioned Capicollo is a cooked version of Coppa Secca, it's basically taken from the same part of the pig (the pig's rear), which is often regarded as the best part. It's aged for a minimum of thirty days in brine before being packed into a natural or artificial casing, where it is cooked and further aged to allow the full flavor to seep into every part of the capicollo.
Sliced hot Capicolli is often seasoned with crushed red hot peppers, salt and garlic to complement the rich flavor of the pork with a spicy hot punch. Basically, balancing the taste to be both delicious and exciting for your pallet. Home Style Capicola can be paired with Italian bread and provolone to help make the perfect, yet authentic Italian sandwich.
