Often underestimated, this kind of salami is instead made from all the best cuts of the Italian heavy pigs: coppa (neck), shoulder, loin, ham, belly.
Special care is given to meat processing and to natural curing (which takes several months, with a minimum of 2 months for the smallest sizes) in masonry root cellars.
