Gotta love those old Italian ladies from the old country. They lived through the hard times so they respect the ingredients and value the materials that go into the final product. Great video.
Absolutely wonderful. The nonna is so charming. The recipe is spot on. And the coffee can trick is pure gold!!! Thank you so much. Peace and love to all of you.
Thank you for the video. My family and I live in Calabria, Italy, in the province of Cosenza. We are Americans who have lived here over 3 years and we have wanted to make capicola for quite some time. Many offers from our neighbors to help us, but we can’t ever get our act together. After watching your video with clear instructions, we felt confident in our ability to prepare our capicola. We appreciate your efforts to document, and share the process. We hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful year. Tanti Saluti.
I just love when she goes back to her native Italian!!!! She's a real spitfire! I bet she never took any crap from her kids!! She's the best. She had me smiling and laughing through this whole video!!!!!!!
Your mom is Beautiful and knows her stuff! God Bless her ! And thank her for the wonderful video... My Mom was born in Italy, but did not know how to make this stuff. They came from a Fishing town. Thanks again....
I grew up in CT. My cousins lived in Rocky Hill too, but that is the Greek side of the family. My Italian Grandparents passed before I was born. Thank you for sharing and uploading this video! That knowledge is priceless!
What a great Vid, Love the old ways. No pink salt and all natural. Thank you for sharing this and especially keeping the old ways alive. Gma is awesome!
Thank you so very much for sharing. I enjoyed so much watching your Mom... I will attempt to make this myself & comment back. Thank you so very, Good Evening from Us Florida Coconuts...
The gift for her from the son or whomever is filming for sharing her recipe is a huge (not too heavy) Italian made chopping board. I have one but it's heavy. Maybe a plastic one instead, plastic is good for raw meats too, more hygienic I think.
I watched this entire video in amazement. She is fantastic and then at the very end, I was shocked, I am also from CT! So what I mean is, can I come try some?
Thank you for an awesome video! I'm assuming she is your grandmother? She is an amazing woman tell her I appreciate that she has taken the time to show us.
Lovely lady and super video! Makes me miss my Grandmother soooooo much! Did she cure for 3 days before wrapping and hanging? I see some recipes calling for up to 2 weeks in salt before hanging but I have FULL faith and confidence that this woman is a PRO and I will follow how she does it! Happy Holidays and God bless!!!
I'm no pro but if u have issues with too much green mold or black,wipe off with a rag and rinse with vinegar or wine. I suspect rinsing the salt off with wine is a way to beat mold to the punch and adds a layer of acid that controls the mold. If you have no white/green or black molds (small amounts) it's not humid enough and won't be permiable enough to dehydrate properly (ie hard dry she'll wet interior) I found this part of curing to mystical for a long time but makes more sense now. Hope this helps someone
+myfoodexperiments If you are getting "Green" or "Black" Mold...Throw it out...those are the harmful types of mold that you don't want. "White" dusty mold is good, which you can use a damp cloth with a little vinegar to wipe off if it gets too thick or bothersome but is harmless and won't impart any bad flavors, you can use a starter culture to promote this type, which a lot of folks do as it combats any "Bad" mold growth. 60 deg F and 60% humidity are the recommended best conditions for dry curing meats, but is also the "best" conditions for cultivating "all" the bad stuff as well. So do your research so you are able to identify any "signs" of things going wrong during your process. Although these are tried and true methods shown here, it should be stated that there are no guarantees of health and safety, everyone's conditions, climates, airborne molds, yeasts, etc. will be different. So it's best to do your homework and know your curing environment.
Thank You Paul and your mom... no more $12.99 boars head crap for me. also, jinx- because at 13:08, we both said the same thing, "that's it?". lol. i will let you know how mines turns out. Once again, Thanks bro...
I would like to thank you for sharing some of the knowledge with the rest of the would ,I also would like to spend some time with your mother or grandmother to absorb some of her life experiences the Good as well as the bad, you can learn a lot from her generation Thanks and enjoy Dwight

little lady + huge knife = nervous viewer! loved the video, thanks for sharing your mom and her technique with us! one question, where did the water go? LOL!!
What if it's winter will the garage b to cold if it's -10 to -25 or would that b ok?? Or what about the basement it's about 10-15celsius or 50-60 Fahrenheit is that to warm?? Also is it to lean with the loin or do u always use the loin.... Do u think that the common grocery store capacola use the loin as they don't seem to have much fat eather and it would probably make it easier for them?
NO, IM WRONG !! it is Cellulose Paper, and u will need netting. Zip-Net.com is a company that sells it direct to the customer, in a home size ( 10 sheets and 3' netting) and a big box, 250 sheets, and 250 pre-cut nets, u choose the size. its a real hard to find item, the sausage maker in buffalo has it also, they have everything or will get it for u. I met Rytek Kutas when he opened the store on Grant and Military Rd. that was 50 yrs ago!!
She did the curing salt on the first salt soak. The salt draws water out by osmisis, and when the water balance is uneven one again (water and salt in the pan) it undergoes another osmosis where the salt filled water is pulled back into the meat. Pork has natural nitrates, doesn't it?
I'm not sure I understand your question. the meat is pork loin. there is no casing since it is a whole cut of meat. however there is a netting to allow you to hang to dry
If that was true, she would have salt crust all on the bottom from the evaporation. It gets reabsorbed through a second osmosis process, which distributes the salt within the meat.
oggi o visto il vostro video siete simpaticissimi volevo dire qualcosa prima non mangiate tanti fagioli o senno lo sapete quello che succede secondo la carne che state usando non e capocollo ma e lonza un forte abbraccio e un felice anno nuovo forza italia
She gets it from a friend in italy....we are trying to determine a US version of the paper. I am told that instead of paper, they used to use flat thin wood sticks around the capicola before paper.... I will post once I figure out the paper options

They don’t make woman like this anymore. Maybe 1 in million today. She reminds me of my mother who is 95 and always happy.

I love her explanations...all secrets its in what she is saying...
The paper she forgot the name about is (collagen sheet) 😉
Enjoyed watching your video....thanks so much for sharing...🙏🏼😀
I really appreciate Mr. mentioning the sticks, thank you!
Great video. I love the simple art of curing meat. Actually the water evaporates. The whole process is drying out the the meat by 40 percent
Love this! I would watch this woman make anything. Pies come to mind...
Anything Grandma makes is going to be delicious!
this is one of the best food vids i have seen on youtube. Molto bene!
We just finished making this wonderful recipe here in St. Louis. Many thanks to the Bruno family.
The netting that worked for us was size 16.

She is adorable!
The best video for making Coppa. She owns the kitchen, everyone else is a spectator
I loved the technique with the can. Great video!

You know it's pure Ital when she's re-purposing cans to hold stuff by her sink.

Your Mother reminds me of the lady in 'Madagascar' who beats up the lion. I should add, i think she is wonderful as is your mother, great vid bud :-)
Does it make much difference what cut of pork? I see most videos use the shoulder butt.
It depends on how much fat you like in the end.
Thank you for this video recipe and greetings to you all!
I love her.
God bless her she is amazing woman
Do you leave it out or in the refrigerator for the 1st 3 days????
Brava nonna!
I'm here in West Hartford, I would love to learn how to make more cured meats if you ever have the time.

could you tell me where she gets the netting please
She gets it from italy but I did find it on amazon....here's a link www.amazon.com/The-Sausage-Maker-Netting-Roll/dp/B002L7TABU

She uses loin because she likes it lean...BUT...I actually prefer when she uses a trimmed pork butt...a little more fat but also more flavor

gluten?
the paper is Deli- tissue paper !! it comes in jumbo sheets 11"x15". amazon.com has it its about $10 for 500 sheets!
NO, IM WRONG !! it is Cellulose Paper, and u will need netting.

signora grazie per il video. Vivo in Florida, e qui niente è mai freddo. Quanto tempo avrebbero bisogno di curare in frigorifero?
What temp and humidity % ??
So cute you can hear the italian prize game in the background. Bless your parents, which province are they from?
nice video :) grazie molto
dear Maria, nice recipe !i want to do my self in my home this recipe. please tel meat what temperature is happening all this think ?THANKS A LOT!!!
Mihai Zograf Now i look carefully this nice video . In the garage or in the cave can be around 20 C. have a good day !!!
Mihai Zograf
Brava la Nona!
What is the paper that she uses?
im doing it for my first time. ooohhh its just the wait hanging..
The sheets in amazon www.amazon.com/TSM-Collagen-Sheets-22-pcs/dp/B01N9MHCHA/ref=sr_1_55_a_it?srs=2602180011&ie=UTF8&qid=1525384022&sr=8-55
Looks like a lot of work, but I bet its worth every bite.
No curing salt like Nitrates??
She did the curing salt on the first salt soak. The salt draws water out by osmisis, and when the water balance is uneven one again (water and salt in the pan) it undergoes another osmosis where the salt filled water is pulled back into the meat.
Pork has natural nitrates, doesn't it?
what is this stuff involved in coppa? is dried tripe? where can I find? You can post sales link?
thank you
I'm not sure I understand your question. the meat is pork loin. there is no casing since it is a whole cut of meat. however there is a netting to allow you to hang to dry

I would like to know the name of the material used in the 14 minutes of video thank you

You used bovine dry blade to embed the pieces
Capocolla means from the head to the shoulder. I America we call it shoulder but. I think the Lady is using pork loin because is leaner!
Boa noite como a fique rir estas receita maravilhoso
gabagool!!
can i use plastic wrap???
looks good just that i find it a bit too lean no fat it needs a little bit of marble
everything but the scotch tape to hold the collagen sheet - if she soaked the collagen it would stick together without tape
The fluids do not get reabsorbed !! The refrigerator fan and evaporator pulls the moisture out!!
If that was true, she would have salt crust all on the bottom from the evaporation.
It gets reabsorbed through a second osmosis process, which distributes the salt within the meat.
so.. whats that paper called?
She's not sure... It is sent from Italy. You can substitute wooden sticks
The flat sticks act as reinforcement instead of paper... But not as easy!
