Coppa, a Corsican charcuterie of Italian origin
Regional varieties appeared from the 18th century onwards. Each of them now has a different manufacturing process, with an imprint of the terroir where it developed. And Corsican coppa, specifically, has its own characteristics specific to the Isle of Beauty.
An artisanal coppa made from French pork
Our coppa is made in Corsica from French pork, following the traditional recipe.
It is made from carefully selected pork collar. This part of the meat, located between the neck and the shoulder, is particularly tender. It is a lean meat marbled with fat, like an entrecote steak.
It is then salted and dried, then aged for several months in natural air. During this maturation period, the coppa slowly develops its exquisite flavour and melting texture. Like most Corsican charcuterie, coppa is also lightly smoked, which gives it a particular aroma.
How to enjoy Corsican coppa?
Corsican coppa can be enjoyed raw or cooked. It contains a fatty part that gives it all its flavour. To enjoy it properly, you should cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife or a slicer. All the flavour will explode in your mouth without needing to chew for too long. You can accompany the charcuterie with a young red wine or another light and fruity vintage.
As an appetiser, Corsican coppa pairs very well with nuts, fruits, and vegetables. So you can serve it with classic olives and gherkins, chutney, or even melon and grapes in summer. You can also compose a platter of charcuterie and cheeses, garnished with dried fruits.
As a starter or antipasto, don't hesitate to wrap coppa around grilled vegetables. It's also perfect for raclette.
In cooking, it adds an extra flavour to fresh pasta dishes with new vegetables, pizza, or risotto. Not to mention, coppa pairs very well with raclette!
