ISTARSKA BUĐOLA
COLLAR (COPPA)
Istrian dried coppa seasoned with bay leaf and black pepper is cured slowly, for a long time, in the air until it becomes a tender, fragrant delicacy. A special blend of spices is rubbed into the pork neck by hand, after which it is stuffed into a casing and a net. It is dried in chambers for four to six months, depending on the size of the piece of meat. Due to slow drying and ripening, the texture of the meat is very soft and juicy. The smell is pleasant and typical for Istrian products.
