I do my Gabagool almost the same way but, I rinse mine off with red wine and put my netting on and pour louisiana hot sauce over it. Then wipe it off lightly with a paper towel and hang it in a wine fridge at 40 degrees for 102 days or untill firm. The vinegar is a preserative in the hot sauce.. Im 70 and this is my great grandpas recipe that my grandpa and dad used.
Capocollo. And this is Capocollo Toscana. If you use other parts of meat and perhaps different spices, it can be called Capocollo di suino stagionata or for example Capocollo di Martina Franca. "Gabagollo" - only in US...😂😂😂😂😂😂
Evo, you've single-handedly demystified the Art of Salt curing Pork. I have pickled Marlin but buying a Butt of Pork and Surgically remove the Meat for Capricole has moved me to get in Cahoots with an of Italian descent. We have been friends since Kindergarten onlt 65 years. We now love only 1.5 kilometres from each other , often sit in a local park and just talk about food. He recently came back from Abbruzzo, italy...with too much pasta & Pizza. I am of German descent. Wanted to be a Gravestone Engraver in 1975, pursuaded to become a Toolmaker, but if it failed ...being a Butcher was my out into real life. Ige made sausages etc. But never hung meat. Despite shooting many feral Boar & Sow...running down a piglet or 5 as welll. I'll want to do this...but live in a Apartment building. Can i hang it in a meat safe in my lower ground garage. Don't have acfess to a cool or Coldroom. Ill long into at my frieds farm. Sometimes Feral Deer and Stag roam into his property. Which cut of Venison lends itself to becoming a sock filler like your most excellent examples. Please cure some meat with your Grand-children...please plant MEAT seeds into yheir Physce...before the Vegetarians have their implants honesd for implantation. Again, thanks from Down Under! Mike
Great to hear from you "down-under" Mike ☺️ You can actually use a refrigerator but just make it hangs freely with nothing touching it and try to keep humidity at around 70% if you can 👍👍
Thank you so much for showing this meat preserving capicollo video. My father used to make these preserved meats but I never had the chance to see how it was done. He passed away a while back in 2005. You have revived this tradition for me and maybe my family. You can maybe understand how priceless this learning experience really is for me, a thousand thanks, mille grazie!
Very sorry that you lost your father back in 2005.... however, I am very happy that you enjoyed this episode and that it has brought tradition back to all your family...just made my day 👍👍
I worked in a meat plant as a smoker for 10 years, my dad was in the meat business for 50 years and was well known. Thanks for the video it gives me something new to explore. Your dad was obviously a great man and an inspiration as my dad was to me, thanks again.
I'm imagining this using traditional Vietnamese spices, i.e., black pepper, anise, cardamom, ginger, garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, fennel, clove, et al. in some varying combinations... I'd like to try that as a substitute for Lap Xuong or other pork products in recipes!
I'm Italian and, for the record, this is NOT an *actual* Italian technique of curing meat. Not at all. Just to mention a few oddities, using paprika for seasoning and washing the thing with water at the end of the curing process are two inconceivable things, not only for a real pork butcher but for anyone in Italy. Kinda painful to watch.😁
I have rarely seen someone explain an age-old Italian recipe to people with such calmness and suvereness. Thank you so much. Grande Docento. Ciao da Cebu, Philippines.
You are awesome! I’ve always purchased capicole. Never again. You have such a great demeanor. You are like Mr. Rogers as you explain everything so calmly. Thanks so much for a great video using your father‘s technique!
My mother made an African version of this by salting pieces of beef and keeping them above the fireplace. The beef would be dried within a few weeks because of smoking. Sometimes she would use honey instead of salt. RIP sweet Mama ❤❤❤
That's a beautiful Capicollo. It reminded me of my grandma. She used to send it to me in northern Italy from Calabria. You have done a perfect job, capicolli done that good are rare, it shows your skills. My only advice is to try to do it with fresh grounded spices. Seems little, but it makes a huge difference. If you use chili peppers of your production, I don't even tell you. Un saluto e un abbraccio dell'Italia 😊
There are so many family traditions that are being lost. Thank you for sharing a true treasure and tradition. I love learning how people used to make fine foods for themselves. Ciao!

Enjoyed the video. To stop the cutting board from sliding on the counter when you are working: place a flattened damp towel, kitchen rag or a few moistened paper towels under it.
If I may suggest a better method, put a piece of non-adhesive kitchen cabinet mesh liner under your board. It’s cheap, lasts forever, and most important, it won’t warp a wooden cutting board the way wet towels will eventually do.
Great video. Your dad knew what he was talking about with the wine. There's a remarkable difference and it's highly worth the effort and money to wash the salt off with wine
At the main family compound in Italy, my family makes this and salami. They have a room that is underground, like a root cellar type structure you would have in America. I am not sure how it was in the old days, but now cold air is brought in and regulated from outside with a fan system. My family does the wine rinsing. They make wine, so there was always plenty of it around. You kind of want the mold. Mold kills off anything else that might get on the meat. The mold is harmless and you just wash it off as shown. You almost hate store bought after you have had homemade. You get to spice it exactly how you want at home.
This was great after 80 years I learn how it's made. Thanks I have to go get some ,I've learned something wonderful , Maybe in another 80 years i will make my own ! Thanks again.
Very nice job and well explained! I do mine very similarly except I salt for 2 days, creating a firmer texture. I rinse with white vinegar. I make some with black pepper and others with red pepper. I tie them tightly with kitchen twine and hang them for 2-3 months or until they lose 1/3 of their weight.
The rinsing with (white) vinegar, or with wine, like Ivo said his granddad used to use for rinsing, has the important advantage of _lowering the PH on the surface of the meat considerably,_ and while doing so, killing off all the mold spores trying to establish a foothold on there, until it's dry enough to no longer be viable for spores to germinate anyways. USE VINEGAR OR WINE TO RINSE, GUYS!

Wonderful video. This is what the world needs more of. Traditional food preparation that’s 10X better than store bought and using things everyone has access to and not expensive. Very well done.
My mum is 92 and every year we do the same process. Just made the a few weeks ago as we are in Melbourne Aus and winter here... mum has only 7 fingers so she uses a pvc pipe with a wire handle and puts the netting over it and slides the meat inside and slides the meat with net together... looks delicious thanks so much
@CornpopBadDude actually I was referring to the ancient Ayrians that built the pyramids in present day China. You know the ones where they find the dna is all Caucasian and predate the denosovans.
Thank you, you took me back about sixty years to when growing up in my Grandfather's place in the Argentine humid pampas. All farm animals grew foraging freely until butchering.
I have done this several ways with and without #2, in just salt like this and also with less salt vac packed for a few days flipping it regularly. The thing I noticed was no matter the salt method I could feel the difference in the texture of the meat, it gets noticeably firmer. I didn't have a temp controlled space to hang it and the temperature where I lived at the time was between 15C to 26C and it still always worked out. Humidity was around 75 to 85 at times by the time it had lost 1/3 of it's weight it was covered in mold, it usually took around 7 weeks or so.I wiped the mold off with wine or vinegar and it was great. Thanks for the video,
I just found your channel and I am impressed with your talents and skills. I'm a retired Fireman and was the Chef in the Fire 🔥 Department 🏬 Bob Cooney from Utah 😊
I have vivid memories of visiting my grandma's friends as a kid, they were an Italian / French Canadian couple and the husband would always feed us his homemade cured meats with cheese and fruits until we were about to explode. Thank god for Italian people, their food and their hospitality!
Pro Chef w/30+ yrs exp here and OMG that looks amazing. I didn't get a chance to "play" with meat curing, but watching you do this shows just how easy it is. You could experiment forever with different cures, rubs, marinades, etc... Uh oh, my love for cooking may be returning!
I am very fascinated by this video. A very calm instructor - yet passionated - with "simple" receipe of some great food. Can't wait to see his sausage making 🤠
@@perssoh11if its mouldy you can wash it down with vinegar or rub it down with sauerkraut (thats what we do here) or something acidic, however white mould is good black mould is bad.
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I'm doing man. Ordered the mesh and I will be starting after Christmas in early January. I have a 'sun room' that stays cold all winter but never freezes, going to hang it in there. I have a wood fired pizza oven outside and this is going to be use for pizza's throughout 2024! Thanks so much for sharing this. And Merry Christmas!
As a little girl I wasn't a huge fan of capicola. That all changed the day I tasted homemade capicola. My friend's mother made it herself and the flavor was out of this world!!! It turns out that I didn't like the overly spicy seasoning used in the store-bought capicola.
@@CookingwiththeCoias It is now hanging. 10/17/2024 2pm. Three months can't come soon enough. I will start another one about a month from now with different seasonings. Thank you once again, Sir. We will be trying some of your other recipes.....like your broiled fish we made last night. Excellent!! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Hi, my grandpa did it just that way, the only difference is that he made a paste with the paprika and pepper with a little bit of Grappa . ( you can basically use any white spirit and maybe even whisky) just a little so it gets a thick paste you can rub on the Coppa.
That was a beautiful video. Im Indian and we dont make meats like that but i love prosciutto so came to watch this video and loved your way of making a video. Will make it for sure. Your delivery is excellent!
Hope you have a well-ventilated walk-in fridge or something similar, because otherwise you'll just give yourself food poisoning, trying to cure meat like this in the Indian climate..
Great video!!!! Simple but perfect! My Dad used to make it and prosciutto in the attic when I was a kid and I never learned how. People, learn from your family members how to make these authentic meats and dishes. Don't let these incredible recipes die off
@@CookingwiththeCoias Had to subscribe when I saw that video. Great explanations of procedures and overall easy to follow directions to make your own Capicola. I was wondering if you have ever used any liquid smoke or smoked paprika to give a little smoked flavor to it
Great video as always. I do not like when people over salt for days and days. Agree only need 15- 16 hrs based on size. Tip, If you like spicy add hot peppers to the salt. As the meat absorbs the salt, it will draw in the hot spices.
Looks tasty. The other reason to vacuum seal for a month or two after drying the meat is that it equals the the muscle texture from the center to the edge and from the thin parts to the the thicker parts.
glad to hear you made it and it was eventually enjoyed - one small tip...if your capocollo cures too hard, simply wrap it with a damp towel and let it stay wrapped for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) and it will soften right up :)
Loved watching this from Papua New Guinea. The American Catholic missionaries had this on their table since 1952. Wondered how it all came about...wonderful food.
Things like this are slowly being lost in this world. It's so, so important to keep these skills in your family tree and to pass them down, teach your neighbors and friends as well. If that dont work for ya,, then make enough of this stuff so you can give your neighbors a treat from time to time. I used to do that with my garden when I was in town, share and your neighbors will love you! Grow enough to give away!👍🙏
I just love prosciutto di parma, and now I know another meat I need to try from an Italian deli. This looks like an easy recipe, and a great way to preserve meat. Thank you for your presentation.
How was it generous? He’s not doing it out of the goodness of his heart. His expectation is to make money from views. You wouldn’t walk out of a restaurant while thanking the owner for their generosity, would you?
Great video! Can't wait to try this. Question: how cold is your cold room? I live in Massachusetts and I don't have a cold room but I do have a back porch which mimics the outside temp in the winter which could be below freezing . Wondering if that is too cold?
How do you maintain this temperature range? My shed will keep it above freezing, but the afternoon sun heats it will above 40F. Historically, was it made at room temperature instead of chilled? @CookingwiththeCoias
Mine has been in the refrigerator for two months now I followed your exact directions. Can’t wait for another maybe six weeks thanks I will let you know how it came out. Thanks again.
Man..watching you enjoy your finished product made me smile!! That does look amazing. I’ve been making homemade salami for the past half year…think it’s time to graduate to Capicole! What’s the average temp in your cold room? I wonder if I can build something small with a fan out in my garage. I live in Ohio, if it doesn’t get too crazy cold I wonder if I could pull this off. I also use a wine cooler with a fan for salami. It stays at 54 degrees. Thanks again! We make all our Italian sausage using your recipe. It’s always amazing. 👍
so happy to hear you are enjoying my home made Italian sausage recipe and that you now want to make capicola :) the avg temp in my cantina is about 37 - 38 deg F
I'm not exactly sure what he means by "Cantina." I live in a dry climate, but I'm not sure where I could keep the temp low for 3 months other than the fridge.
Here in Bulgaria we also prepare in this way, only the name is different. Well, we taste richer, but in essence the meat does not taste much, only its "rind". Really well prepared and well explained! I rate this almost a ten. Simple, elegant and delicious :)
This looks perfect. The technique is quite straightforward and simple as well. We don't eat pork, so I will try a similar technique with lamb shoulder instead and see what the results look and taste like. Thanks a million for this video
I remember my grandfather curing hams back in the 1970s using his now 'ultra-modern' pastured hogs. LOL. Him and my grandmother were definitely old school. Their garden was huge, they raised hogs/cattle/chickens and preserved enough food for the family every year. Thankfully I still have most of the farm but not currently doing much with it because of my career. But that will be changing soon.
I always wanted to make some gabagool It looks 'fairly' simple from what I'm seeing here, only tough part is finding a place that is cool & dry for 3 months without freezing... I guess you can also just use your fridge, right???
I followed your recipe and just pulled down my first finished round. Wow! The flavor is epic and it turned out perfect! I’m going to get the next round started this weekend and serve some of what I just made on a charcuterie board tomorrow! Huge thanks for this vid!
Voilà un homme heureux, au bonheur communicatif. Merci pour cette recette, c'est très clair. Vos petits-enfants ont beaucoup de chance. On vous embrasse. 😊
I started my capicole. I improvised with a sock helper to get it in the mesh and it worked GREAT. When I moved to Monterey Va 2010 I bought a restaurant Haps Highs. I found Amoroso rolls from Sysco. but could not find Capicole. Thank you I will let you know in 3 months James Hap Darragh
I am going to do this. I have ordered everything I need. When the elastic sleeve arrives I am in business. I have been making my own corned beef, jerky and making my own primed rib. On to more flavor and fun.

@CornpopBadDude actually I was referring to the ancient Ayrians that built the pyramids in present day China. You know the ones where they find the dna is all Caucasian and predate the denosovans.
I also love fishing and dried meats. Evo, you're a machine. You're content is excellent. It's a great legacy.
Thank you, you took me back about sixty years to when growing up in my Grandfather's place in the Argentine humid pampas. All farm animals grew foraging freely until butchering.
I have done this several ways with and without #2, in just salt like this and also with less salt vac packed for a few days flipping it regularly. The thing I noticed was no matter the salt method I could feel the difference in the texture of the meat, it gets noticeably firmer. I didn't have a temp controlled space to hang it and the temperature where I lived at the time was between 15C to 26C and it still always worked out. Humidity was around 75 to 85 at times by the time it had lost 1/3 of it's weight it was covered in mold, it usually took around 7 weeks or so.I wiped the mold off with wine or vinegar and it was great. Thanks for the video,
@@peterlokin4098 better use white (rose or red) wine it is not that sharp as the vinegar plus it gives a better flavor.
Question: How long did you leave it in the salt?
@@goofsaddggkle7351 Just do 15 to 16 hours as the OP suggested.
I just found your channel and I am impressed with your talents and skills. I'm a retired Fireman and was the Chef in the Fire 🔥 Department 🏬
Bob Cooney from Utah 😊
Great to hear from you in Utah Bob - glad you are enjoying my channel and congratulations on your retirement 👍👍
I have vivid memories of visiting my grandma's friends as a kid, they were an Italian / French Canadian couple and the husband would always feed us his homemade cured meats with cheese and fruits until we were about to explode. Thank god for Italian people, their food and their hospitality!
I always say that the only reason we haven't solved world hunger is because they didn't put Italians in charge of feeding hungry people!
Pro Chef w/30+ yrs exp here and OMG that looks amazing. I didn't get a chance to "play" with meat curing, but watching you do this shows just how easy it is. You could experiment forever with different cures, rubs, marinades, etc... Uh oh, my love for cooking may be returning!
So happy to hear this and hope you give it a try as it really is very easy👍👍
Curing, not cooking. I love this way of eating. So much better than cooking with heat.
I am very fascinated by this video. A very calm instructor - yet passionated - with "simple" receipe of some great food. Can't wait to see his sausage making 🤠
I LOVE THIS! I am SO going to try this. BUT,I will make it spicy. Thanks for such a great FULL video!
Excellent recipe..trying it now..God bless us everyone..
Is that the Latin Mass my friend
You sir, are one of the best teachers on TH-cam. Thank you so much ❤
So glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks so much for your kind feedback 👍👍
I don't know why I never considered making my own hot cappy. Now I have a new entry on the bucket list.
That's fantastic!! So glad to hear this 👍👍
Very interesting. Will make a try with Swedish wild boar. I think that the extra game taste will make a great capicola.
It will have an accent being Swedish, but should be excellent!
Now it look as a white furry rabbit.... what is the best way to clean it?
@@perssoh11white is good
@@perssoh11if its mouldy you can wash it down with vinegar or rub it down with sauerkraut (thats what we do here) or something acidic, however white mould is good black mould is bad.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Does it matter what kind of salt you use? Sea salt better, kosher?
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I'm doing man. Ordered the mesh and I will be starting after Christmas in early January. I have a 'sun room' that stays cold all winter but never freezes, going to hang it in there. I have a wood fired pizza oven outside and this is going to be use for pizza's throughout 2024!
Thanks so much for sharing this. And Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 👍👍
As a little girl I wasn't a huge fan of capicola. That all changed the day I tasted homemade capicola. My friend's mother made it herself and the flavor was out of this world!!! It turns out that I didn't like the overly spicy seasoning used in the store-bought capicola.
Incredible instructional video. Thank you for sharing. I use bung casings which is a bit messy, but very fun.
so glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks so much for writing in :)
Love learning the Traditional methods. No chemicals, dyes or anything else. The way it should be.
I'm getting one started tomorrow! Thank you, Sir!
happy to hear this :)
@@CookingwiththeCoias It is now hanging. 10/17/2024 2pm. Three months can't come soon enough. I will start another one about a month from now with different seasonings. Thank you once again, Sir. We will be trying some of your other recipes.....like your broiled fish we made last night. Excellent!! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Hi, my grandpa did it just that way, the only difference is that he made a paste with the paprika and pepper with a little bit of Grappa . ( you can basically use any white spirit and maybe even whisky) just a little so it gets a thick paste you can rub on the Coppa.
That was a beautiful video. Im Indian and we dont make meats like that but i love prosciutto so came to watch this video and loved your way of making a video. Will make it for sure. Your delivery is excellent!
Ok
Hope you have a well-ventilated walk-in fridge or something similar, because otherwise you'll just give yourself food poisoning, trying to cure meat like this in the Indian climate..
You don’t cure meats in India? I thought they did that everywhere in some way.
I was complaining about letting my bread rest for 8 hours !! Man 3 months is wild lol. Really want to try this Thanks
You're going to love it 👍👍
Great video!!!! Simple but perfect!
My Dad used to make it and prosciutto in the attic when I was a kid and I never learned how. People, learn from your family members how to make these authentic meats and dishes. Don't let these incredible recipes die off
So glad you enjoyed this episode and yes...let's keep the tradition going 👍👍
@@CookingwiththeCoias Had to subscribe when I saw that video. Great explanations of procedures and overall easy to follow directions to make your own Capicola. I was wondering if you have ever used any liquid smoke or smoked paprika to give a little smoked flavor to it
@@frankbrowning328 I have not, however, if you were to use smoked paprika, it would definitely add a hint of smokiness 👍👍
@@CookingwiththeCoias Thanks for the reply. I may try 1 of each
Great video as always. I do not like when people over salt for days and days. Agree only need 15- 16 hrs based on size. Tip, If you like spicy add hot peppers to the salt. As the meat absorbs the salt, it will draw in the hot spices.
Thanks for the tip👍👍
Ok already you’re convinced me I’m going to Costco’s to get a butt. And following your instructions. Thank goodness good buddy
So glad you are going to give this a try...it really is easy and you are going to love it👍👍
Looks tasty. The other reason to vacuum seal for a month or two after drying the meat is that it equals the the muscle texture from the center to the edge and from the thin parts to the the thicker parts.
made it.thought it came out to hard.gave it away, they sliced it up months later and it was excellent. making more. thanks!
glad to hear you made it and it was eventually enjoyed - one small tip...if your capocollo cures too hard, simply wrap it with a damp towel and let it stay wrapped for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) and it will soften right up :)
Loved watching this from Papua New Guinea. The American Catholic missionaries had this on their table since 1952. Wondered how it all came about...wonderful food.
Great to hear from you in Papua New Guinea and glad you enjoyed this episode 👍👍
Bravo , un vero maestro 🥇👍🇮🇹👋👋
Great video!
For tying a knot, a small clamp or chip clip can really help!
Love your knowledge and the way you teach! Thanks for the great videos
Things like this are slowly being lost in this world. It's so, so important to keep these skills in your family tree and to pass them down, teach your neighbors and friends as well. If that dont work for ya,, then make enough of this stuff so you can give your neighbors a treat from time to time. I used to do that with my garden when I was in town, share and your neighbors will love you! Grow enough to give away!👍🙏
I just love prosciutto di parma, and now I know another meat I need to try from an Italian deli. This looks like an easy recipe, and a great way to preserve meat. Thank you for your presentation.
So glad you enjoyed this episode and hope you give it a try 👍
Thank you for the lesson. My mother-in-law taught me how to make sausages, but now I have another great recipe (Capicol). Great Video
Glad you enjoyed this episode and here's my take on making sausage. th-cam.com/video/4iINoN4UKxs/w-d-xo.html
good job! your directions were very clear! i look forward to making this down the road! thanks again for the great information.
Wow! Thank you. That was a beautiful demonstration. So generous of you to take the time to share it with us.❤
How was it generous? He’s not doing it out of the goodness of his heart. His expectation is to make money from views. You wouldn’t walk out of a restaurant while thanking the owner for their generosity, would you?
@@cwg73160 Because of his generosity, he is making money. Likes and followers weren't there early on. He did it for free and the following happened.
Wow, thanks for sharing a family recipe. This is very generous of you.
Great video! Thank you, I always wished I had learned how to cure meat from my Italian and Portuguese relatives. Much appreciated.
Salt used to be worth its weight in gold in ancient times! The word salary comes from the Latin word for salt: sal. Awesome meat and technique!
also the term not worth his salt. Good to know!
Great video! Can't wait to try this. Question: how cold is your cold room? I live in Massachusetts and I don't have a cold room but I do have a back porch which mimics the outside temp in the winter which could be below freezing . Wondering if that is too cold?
Below freezing is too cold - you want the temperature to be above freezing in the 30's F 👍
And no flys on a warm day .
How do you maintain this temperature range? My shed will keep it above freezing, but the afternoon sun heats it will above 40F. Historically, was it made at room temperature instead of chilled? @CookingwiththeCoias
What if you live some place warm? Can I put it in the fridge for 3 months?
Yes you can use a refrigerator but just make sure it hangs freely with nothing touching it and try to keep humidity at around 70% if you can 👍👍
Great video. Another item you can use inplace of a casing is a veil, basically a sheet that you can wrap the capicoll in then put it into the net
Mine has been in the refrigerator for two months now I followed your exact directions. Can’t wait for another maybe six weeks thanks I will let you know how it came out. Thanks again.
Sounds great!! Very exciting 👍👍
Man..watching you enjoy your finished product made me smile!! That does look amazing. I’ve been making homemade salami for the past half year…think it’s time to graduate to Capicole!
What’s the average temp in your cold room? I wonder if I can build something small with a fan out in my garage. I live in Ohio, if it doesn’t get too crazy cold I wonder if I could pull this off.
I also use a wine cooler with a fan for salami. It stays at 54 degrees.
Thanks again! We make all our Italian sausage using your recipe. It’s always amazing. 👍
so happy to hear you are enjoying my home made Italian sausage recipe and that you now want to make capicola :) the avg temp in my cantina is about 37 - 38 deg F
Gabagool? Over here!
I may have to try this. It reminds me of my grandfather when he made Armenian sausages. It was some of the best stuff... Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I never realized just how easy capricola is to make! I can't wait to try this out!
yes, it really is easy and glad you are going to give it a try :) You are going to love it!!
The trick is having a cantina with the perfect humidity and temperature
What is the right temperature
I think he's saying container lol
I'm not exactly sure what he means by "Cantina." I live in a dry climate, but I'm not sure where I could keep the temp low for 3 months other than the fridge.
@@88KeysIdaho It's a cellar, like where they keep wine barrels
@@visebes9694 Ah. Thanks. I've never heard the term Cantina used to mean a cellar or basement. I thought a Cantina was like a bar or tavern.
Here in Bulgaria we also prepare in this way, only the name is different. Well, we taste richer, but in essence the meat does not taste much, only its "rind".
Really well prepared and well explained!
I rate this almost a ten. Simple, elegant and delicious :)
Thank you for such great feedback and it's great to hear from you in Bulgaria 👍
This looks perfect. The technique is quite straightforward and simple as well.
We don't eat pork, so I will try a similar technique with lamb shoulder instead and see what the results look and taste like. Thanks a million for this video
Very interesting...keep me posted on how your lamb turns out 👍
Great video. I've watch hundreds of videos on this subject. I've made many successful Capicollas. Thanks. Keep it up.
Very nice demonstration on meat preservation.😊Thanks for sharing.😊
So glad to hear that you enjoyed this episode 👍👍
Your English is very clear to understand even the steps is clear thank u
Yes!! Enjoyable just to watch this artisan and listen!! Thank you Mr. Coia.
Just made my day😊 Thanks for such great feedback and so glad you enjoyed this episode 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Excellently executed and explained. Thank you for posting.
So happy to hear that you enjoyed this video and thanks for such great feedback 👍👍👍
I just started salting mine as I watch you! Can not wait it should be done just before Christmas!!!!
Will make for a fantastic Christmas treat👍👍
I remember my grandfather curing hams back in the 1970s using his now 'ultra-modern' pastured hogs. LOL. Him and my grandmother were definitely old school. Their garden was huge, they raised hogs/cattle/chickens and preserved enough food for the family every year. Thankfully I still have most of the farm but not currently doing much with it because of my career. But that will be changing soon.
So happy to hear this 🙂🙂
I always wanted to make some gabagool
It looks 'fairly' simple from what I'm seeing here, only tough part is finding a place that is cool & dry for 3 months without freezing...
I guess you can also just use your fridge, right???
Yes, you can use a refrigerator but just make sure it hangs freely with nothing touching it and try to keep humidity at around 70% if you can 👍
I got into mine today 4/26/24 after following your directions and it is Marvelous 👍👍thanks for the video
Just made my day!! So happy to hear this 🙂🙂
I followed your recipe and just pulled down my first finished round. Wow! The flavor is epic and it turned out perfect! I’m going to get the next round started this weekend and serve some of what I just made on a charcuterie board tomorrow! Huge thanks for this vid!
Congrats on your first and good job👍👍So glad it was a big success and thanks for writing in to let me know....just made my day😊
Oh wow yes! Thank you! So glad I found you! This makes it very economical doesn’t it? Homemade so much better than store bought!. BRAVO!
Glad you enjoyed this episode and hope you give this a try someday 👍👍
Voilà un homme heureux, au bonheur communicatif. Merci pour cette recette, c'est très clair.
Vos petits-enfants ont beaucoup de chance.
On vous embrasse. 😊
So glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks for your kind feedback 👍👍
I started my capicole. I improvised with a sock helper to get it in the mesh and it worked GREAT. When I moved to Monterey Va 2010 I bought a restaurant Haps Highs. I found Amoroso rolls from Sysco. but could not find Capicole. Thank you I will let you know in 3 months James Hap Darragh
Thanks for sharing your tip with us James and looking forward to hearing back from you in 3 months 🙂👍
Ok, I just bought an entire pig.. so I’m in! I’ll give it a go.
I just got done salting my capicola, as soon as I'm done working I am going to spice it up then hang it in my cold room. Ty for this video =D
That's great to hear!! You are going to love it 👍👍
Thank you for sharing the precious recipes from your family! I look forward to making my own capicole!
Capicola is delicious. A decent whole pork shoulder is still affordable if I save up for a while. It's a win, win, win.
I am going to do this. I have ordered everything I need. When the elastic sleeve arrives I am in business. I have been making my own corned beef, jerky and making my own primed rib. On to more flavor and fun.
You're going to love it 👍👍
Made mine following your recipe, It is November 28th here but very cold and my shop is a constant 44 to 46 degrees, we'll see. Thanks for the vid.
I am so looking forward to trying to make this myself. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
So glad you enjoyed this episode and happy to hear that you are going to give this a try....you are going to love it 👍👍
Dear new friend, I love you experience and explainations , fantastic, my name is Paul James and I have been a chef for over twenty years, I have a little pro tip for you : when you use a chopping board place a damp cloth underneath this will stop your chopping board from moving around when your using it
Love this channel
