I just showed your pictorial to my wife.  She thought it looked great, too.  Wanted to know what I would have to do to make my own.  Told her I would have to "build" a special smoker to do this.  Hint, hint!!

Whole different ballpark dry curing meat. Not something you would get into without a lot of reading, equipment and time to wait for the final product to be ready.

I haven't posted for over 2 years.  Since then I've made Capicola a coupla more times.  Processed them the same way just changed the seasonings each time, trying new flavors.

You may not have posted in two years, but you last two posts more then makes up for it.

That is one great arrangement of charcuterie.

Great looking coppa  :)

Are the seasonings you have used listed somewhere here, OR, are they a heavily guarded secret ???

How did you store them ??? Temp and R.H.

Dang, I spent 2 hours writing a long and detailed reply with instructions and recipes for dry-curing capicola and lost it!!!!!!!

There's an endless number of ways to make dry-cure capicola.  Mine are a mixture of Rytek Kutas, Len Poli and Ruhlman processes and spice mixtures.  I have black pepper/garlic, paprika/garlic/cayenne, and fennel/black pepper.  I like to roll my coppa in wine before rubbing the spices on.

More later.
