Soppressata
Soppressata, is also know as capocchia
or copa di testa. It is a pressed sausage from Italy made of the tongue,
pork belly, head, stomach and various other bits of meat. The meat is chopped in to
small pieces cooked with spices then stuffed into a jute bag. There are many
regional Italian variations but the most famous is from Siena. This version uses
flavorings including coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. Another
variation of this meat is called soppressata in cuffia. This is made by
removing the bones from a pigs head and stuffing it with sausage meat. |
