PROCESSING
The meat used to make Coppa di Parma PGI is carefully selected. Only heavy Italian pigs of pure breeds or derivatives such as Duroc, Landrace and Large White are used.
The pork cut used for production is the muscular part of the neck, which is trimmed, cleaned and dry-salted; the meat is massaged with salt, spices and natural aromas to slowly season it for 6 to 10 days.
They are then placed in cold rooms to rest for about 5 days and then stuffed exclusively in natural gut, tied by hand with hemp twine, to move on to the drying phase, a delicate moment when the excess water is released.
This is followed by the curing phase, which gives the product its unique aroma and flavour. This period can last from a minimum of 60 days for smaller pots to a minimum of 90 days for larger pots.
CURIOSITIES
The origins of Coppa di Parma PGI date back at least to the 17th century, as evidenced by historical documents.
Production takes place in the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy, in particular in the provinces of Mantova, Modena, Parma, Pavia and Reggio Emilia, and in the municipalities along the River Po in the provinces of Cremona, Lodi and Milan.
The humid climate of these areas, with temperatures varying from the cold of winter to the heat of summer, favours a slow and constant curing of the meat, guaranteeing its typicality and unique flavour.
