This page exists because these joins exist. A class name that joined to nothing would not have a page.
US standard of identity
No section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product. That is worth knowing: it means the name carries no compositional guarantee in the United States, and two products sold under it may have been made quite differently.
Protected names in this class
- Coppa de Corse / Coppa de Corse - Coppa di Corsica
- Coppa de l'Ile de Beauté
- Coppa di Parma
- Coppa Piacentina
Buying it
Dry-cured pork neck muscle, sold as coppa in the north of Italy and as capocollo further south. Coppa Piacentina and Capocollo di Calabria are separate protected names for what is anatomically the same muscle treated differently, which is a useful reminder that these designations protect a method and a place rather than a cut.
What to read on the label. Coppa and capocollo are the same muscle. The protected name, where there is one, is the part that constrains the method.
Worth repeating in a buying context: no section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product, so in the United States the word on the front of the pack is a marketing term. The compositional statements that are regulated are the ones on the back, in the ingredient list and the nutrition panel.
This is not a protected designation. The listing below is a product of this type, not a registered name. The register entries for this class are listed above and none of them is what is linked here.
