Cured some pork neck for an week following an online recipe this time -
Vac sealed in the fridge for a week - now netted and hanging for a couple months .
Coppa
-
Smoked pork neck from one of our local butchers is so bloody good.
-
I could not tell you sorry, it is shaved a lot like ham, and has that not fully cooked look, more like prosciutto.
Edit - but way more Smokey than both ham and prosciutto.

Coppa is something I grew up with (Itallian family) Though Ive never made it and we dont get the good stuff anymore. Im very interested, cant wait to see the results

So pulled these pieces out the other day ….
First one looks great tastes brilliant!!
2nd one was off thru the middle so straight in the bin…😢 not sure why or how but it is what it is .
-
Shame about the off one, the other one looks great!

Was the pork neck rolled at all? It does seem strange for it to go off in the middle of a muscle if it was a whole muscle???
The good one looks fantastic.

I'm thinking you either didn't use quite enough cure or didn't cure it long enough. It's a big bugger when that happens since its a reasonably long process.
Sorry, new to these forums but not new to Charcuterie.
Cheers!
