Why You'll Love It
Coppa has long been considered one of the finest cuts for dry curing, prized for its abundant marbling and buttery texture. Our Iberico pigs naturally develop exceptional intramuscular fat, creating a cured meat that is remarkably tender and deeply flavorful.
Raised outdoors on a single ranch in the Texas Hill Country for up to 18 months, our pigs forage on native grasses, mesquite beans, acorns, prickly pear, and other native plants. That slower growth and active lifestyle create pork with unmatched depth before it ever reaches the cure room.
The result is a beautifully balanced coppa that's rich, savory, slightly sweet, and finished with the gentle warmth of chile piquin.
