Capicola is an Italian cold cut or salumi. The name is from "Coppa," Italian for cured meat (alternatively from capo—head), and "collo," the shoulder (and neck) of a pig. It is esteemed for its taste and is more expensive than most other salumi It is usually sliced thin for antipasto or sandwiches, such as Muffulettas and hoagies.

A pork roast derived from the boneless shoulder butt; the continuation of the loin muscle, with the blade bone and two superior muscles removed. A superlative and under-appreciated cut which, due to a relatively high fat content, will be moist and succulent even when over-cooked. In Europe this cut is referred to as the collar butt.

It's a really excellent Italian cold cut, really great flavor, and marbled with fat. So good on deli sandwiches.
