Italian deli meat
Capicolla is an Italian cured meat made from pork shoulder or neck, seasoned with wine, garlic, and spices, then dry-aged.
It appears sliced thin on antipasto platters and sandwiches.
The word is often spelled capocollo or coppa, and in Italian-American speech frequently rendered as gabagool: Get me some capicolla from the deli.
