Tempesta Spicy Air Dried Pork Collar 4lb

SPICY AIR DRIED PORK COLLAR -Spicy, shelf stable, dry-aged pork collar. This spicy version is rubbed with imported Calabrian chiles, black pepper, juniper berries, and fresh herbs. Aged 4 months. This is a traditional whole-muscle cut that is produced by most salumeria from the collar muscle (shoulder area), and air-dried with precision, similar to prosciutto. Ours has an incredibly deep pork flavor and super creamy fat. We use family farm-raised pork, so the animal has an opportunity to use its muscles which adds flavor to the meat and contributes to the yielding quality of the fat. It also means ours is not greasy, but melts readily on the palate. These animals have the unique characteristics of driving flavor deep into each muscle via a high degree of interlaced intramuscular, giving our coppa marbling quality that exceeds imported or commodity-produced coppa. Pairs great with any extra dry to off-dry bubby, most rose or flat whites. High tannin wines may intensify the heat, though the richness and balance of the spiciness of our coppa will not overpower a heat lovers palate, if enjoyed with higher alcohol reds.
